Hi all,

A quick question:

On my Mac I use "open <object>" to open a file / directory with the
default action for that

e.g.

Open finder in that dir:
%> open .

Open a PDF with my default PDF viewer:
%> open blahblah.pdf

On a Windows box from cmd.exe:

Open my default browser at www.sun.com:
C:\> start http://www.sun.com

Open explorer in a dir:
C:\> start .

"start" doesn't work with cygwin (via rxvt / bash).

Anyone know of an alternative for cygwin?

Thanks

SM
