Yes, but I don't think that applies here. The %PATH% I gave above is the windows %PATH% for the SYSTEM user before starting a Cygwin process. The FAQ says that /etc/profile will set my $PATH appropriately, and I should be careful if I reset my $PATH in .bashrc or if I modify /etc/profile. The is a default installation, so I have the default /etc/profile, and I have not created any login configuration files for the SYSTEM account. -Scott -- Scott Atwood atwood@cs.stanford.edu PGP key fingerprint: 2852 FAE0 B0BB FE52 7002 1019 4D48 78B3 6FF0 A89F -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
