You can use the Windows 'start' command to fire up a copy of bash in a new window. At the bash (or DOS) prompt, just invoke: $ start bash If you have used Explorer (File Manager) on Win95 to create a .PIF file for starting bash with a particular set of options from an icon, you can invoke that from the command line as well: $ start bash.pif Enjoy. - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
