I have djgpp env var set to point to /djgpp and I but bash in /djgpp/bin. Does this mean that /etc/profie should be in /etc/profile or /djgpp/etc/profile and should it pick up the ashrc file from the user home directory or from /djgpp? Also do yo need to put #! in the first line as the example scripts do. This seems to be necessary to get a script to work. I'm also having problems getting aliases to work I do a command like alias cls="cmd /c cls" from the bash command line and it works fine but I can't get ti to work in a bash script? any suggestions Thanks Neil Foster
