If I then run a sub-shell by typing "bash", the script will run fine. (see the example below). Does anyone know why? 1:# cd /windows/desktop/example 2:/windows/desktop/example# ls -al test5 -rw-r--r-- 1 500 everyone 13 Mar 09 19:08 test5 3:/windows/desktop/example# cat test5 echo Hi ls 4:/windows/desktop/example# test5 BASH.EXE: ./test5: No such file or directory 5:/windows/desktop/example# bash 1:/windows/desktop/example# test5 Hi test5 2:/windows/desktop/example# exit exit 6:/windows/desktop/example# ----- Paul McDermott, Columbia Business School, New York Tel: (212) 665-7121 International: +1-212-665-7121 Email: pm172@columbia.edu - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
