`bash' uses the DOS-ish scheme of `;'-separated PATH elements. My version
(1.14.7) appends `;.' to the end of PATH automagically, so commands in the
current directory should work without needing any changes. The following
might help to figure this out:

* Version of `bash' you use (run `bash -version')
* Output of `printenv PATH' from command.com
* Ditto, from `bash'.
