Bash on Cygwin works exactly as Bash on GNU/Linux. If you are "very familiar with Linux", you should know that you have several options. 1. You can escape the space by using backslash, i.e. do cd /cygdrive/c/Documents\ and\ settings 2. You can use wildcard - cd /cygdrive/c/Documents*settings or cd /cygdrive/c/Documents?and?settings 3. You can quote the full directory name, i.e. do cd "/cygdrive/c/Documents and settings" 4. You can use the Bash name completion mechanism - type: cd /cygdrive/c/Documen and TAB play with it and learn how it work. Ehud. P.S.
