Why don't you just create a .bashrc in your $HOME directory and change the $PATH for that bash session in it ? You could even do the same thing for cmd.exe with a small DOS batch. Just create a shortcut with the following command line: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /e:2048 /k :\\dosrc.bat Then dosrc.bat gets executed and afterwards you get a command prompt. If you change/set any environment variables in dosrc.bat, they exist for the actual session. [...] > > Your > BACbKA Bye. Michael. -- Ich bin vom 1. Juni bis 3.
