Actually, it does not work the same. I have lowercase environment variables set when bash starts up and cygstart seems to capitalize them. :-( I don't want them captialized because I use the vars as abbreviations to long directory paths. For example, export ws=~/path/to/some/dir I then can use $ws in xemacs. BTW, is there a better way to handle abbreviations like this? There are other disadvantages when adding a new path because it then needs to be added to process-environment and to all my shell-mode buffers. -Edwin -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
