As in your paragraph about "still missing the point" Yep. Think about it. I suggested that you NOT to use cmd and you used cmd. I suggested that you not to use \ and you used \. "dir" is a built-in for cmd. It is not a Cygwin program and it doesn't become aware of Cygwin conventions just because you ran it under bash. If you want to look at the files on your C drive the cygwin command would be ls /cygdrive/c Forget about cmd and forget about \ if you are trying to use Cygwin the way it was designed to be used. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
