Eli,
	I guess that's because you are all set up before you started.  I
also guess that you did a start run bash.  It did not even start for me.  My
paths are not in autoexec.bat when I start djgpp work(I run a dj.bat to do
that).  I'm not even sure if autoexec.bat is run on starting a dos box.
However, path\boot.bat Icon got bash going, sort of.

	"ls" works and "less file.txt" also works but "ls | less" gives pipe
error less not found.  However in both straight dos and bash under dos "ls |
less"  is normal.  Also under bash (no dos) Norton Change Directory
functions normally but does not change directories.  Really strange.  A
number of members have sent me some more things to try.  I'll give it
another go.  Thanks for the help.

		Regards Ian.
