The best way to do that is to launch Cygwin executables from another Cygwin executable that has set up the PATH so that U don't have to. Take a look at /cygwin.bat, which is often the first Cygwin program on a system to be invoked, for an example. It invokes bash.exe, which sources /etc/profile, which is where /usr/local/bin/, /usr/bin/, et.al., are prepended to the Windows PATH. All Cygwin executables launched from this login shell will in- herit any exported ENVIRONMENT variables, include $PATH and $LINE (%LINE% from Windows). Were I in your position, I would make a copy of /cygwin.bat that looks something like this:


@echo off

C:
chdir c:\path\to\your\cygwin\bin

bash -c "cd /cygdrive/c/Dokumente\ und\ Einstellungen/test/Eigene\
Dateien/tload;tload -l %LINE% %1%"

The above .BAT file is a good starting point. -------------------------------------------------------- Goss ...
