 you accidentally have set home to a relative path, in which case ~ is rela=
tive instead of absolute?  What does 'echo $PATH' say; are there any relati=
ve paths in that listing?

$ type mysvn
mysvn is hashed (./mysvn)

Cat's out of the bag.  foo really is a bash script to run my common svn com=
mands.

$ echo $HOME
/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/harryr

$ cd ~ ; pwd
/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/harryr

$ echo $PATH
[gives a very long path.  Yes, ./ and ./bin are present but are the only
relative paths in the listing.]
