Maybe I'm tired, doing something > very stupid or what... Maybe environment is screwed up?.. I'm puzzled. This is because Bash 2.05 uses libc's dosexec.c which will execute "x.bat" even if you told it to run "x". While this is compatible with the way command.com works, it's bad mojo for Bash. So dosexec.c needs to be fixed in a certain way. What that certain way is hasn't been agreed to yet. Perhaps a flag to disable this behavior? Mark
