If you're running Cygwin's bash prompt via cygwin.bat, you can add whatever "batch" commands you want to that. If you're looking to add some shell commands, you can do so in your .bash_login or .bashrc file, depending on your intent. See 'man bash' for details. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
