I seem to remember that invoking bash from a dos bat file worked and it still does. What I also remember and that seems to be correct from looking at the docs is that the _bashrc file should be run under bash so as it can configure itself and I can set the prompt to PS1='\w-->' cwd. The _bashrc file does not run. I also notice from my bash book that this should use double quotes " not single '. It does what I want using source _bashrc from the bash command line. Any comments? Regards Ian.
