Sorry Dave, but I don't understand which command you are talking about.
Are  talking about 'cd' ? I don't see any 'cd' command in the cygwin/bin
directory. If there was a 'cd' comand in the cygwin/bin directory, when
I type 'cd' directly from the DOS command prompt, I should have the same
empty string that I have from the ($shell cd), but this is not the case.

Best regards,
Omar
