It is possible to alias emacs to: alias emacs='(unset SHELL; cygwrapper.sh path-to-emacs ...)' > HOME is also probably a good idea to convert into DOS form. That's odd. $HOME correctly appear with Vim. Any way, --cyg-PWD-clear and --cyg-PWD-convert have been replaced with: --cyg-env-clear=ENV-VARS and --cyg-env-convert=ENV-VARS. So, you can write now: alias prog='cyg-wrapper.sh path-to-prog --cyg-env-convert=PWD,SHELL --cyg-env-convert=HOME' However, I have a bug: "--cyg-env-convert=HOMEPATH" works fine, "--cyg-env-clear=PWD" works fine too, but "--cyg-env-convert=HOMEPATH" does not have any consequences... As well as "(unset HOMEPATH;gvim)". I guess that HOMEPATH got a special traitment from cygwin or bash. Does list of directories needs to be converted also ? I know PATH appears correctly converted from Vim. Is is the same with the other tools, or is it Vim, as I suspect, that opers the convertion ? -- Luc Hermitte http://hermitte.free.fr/cygwin/ -- 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/
