For a while recently - and for unknown reasons - the chere menu entries
were not working for me.  I ended up creating a shortcut in my SendTo
folder/menu that would open a bash window in the directory containing
the highlighted file or folder.  Not perfect, but better than nothing.

Target:
    C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -e /bin/xhere /bin/bash.exe "%L"
Start in:  [leave blank]

I don't remember whether there might be any customizations in .bashrc
that helped this to work, so YMMV.

BTW, chere is back working for me now.  Don't remember what - if
anything noticeable - changed.
