Hi again Andrew! I have Cygwin DLL version 1.3.10 - I downloaded it only last week!

Tried this and it had no effect! >| When I run Cygwin it is putting me in a home directory of "/cygdrive/c" (not >| my user directory) and some of my commands are not working. For example: >| Robert Mark Bram@DIJONG ~ >| $ pwd >| /cygdrive/c > Check the cygwin.bat file, I think you will see a cd there or > something.. I think that you have to tell it to cd to your > homedrive.. cygwin.bat contents as follows: @echo off C: chdir \cygwin\bin bash --login -i But that bash login should change me to my home directory shouldn't it? > Where is your 'homedrive'? >From the output of set: HOME=/cygdrive/c HOMEDRIVE=C: HOMEPATH='\' HOSTNAME=DIJONG I found out that I am already beginning from the 'HOMEDRIVE'. I started a new prompt and got this output: Robert Mark Bram@DIJONG ~ $ PWD /cygdrive/c Robert Mark Bram@DIJONG ~ $ echo $HOMEDRIVE C: Robert Mark Bram@DIJONG ~ $ cd $HOMEDRIVE Robert Mark Bram@DIJONG ~ $ pwd /cygdrive/c Robert Mark Bram@DIJONG ~ $ > | Robert Mark Bram@DIJONG ~ > | $ man ls | less > | WARNING: terminal is not fully functional > | - (press RETURN) > Hmm do a echo $TERM and see what it says.. *** Here is something intereseting: Robert Mark Bram@DIJONG ~ $ echo $TERM nutc Robert Mark Bram@DIJONG ~ $ set | grep TERM TERM=nutc TERMCAP='C:\PROGRA~1\RATIONAL\RATION~1\NUTCROOT\etc\termcap' TERMINFO='C:\PROGRA~1\RATIONAL\RATION~1\NUTCROOT\usr\lib\terminfo' Robert Mark Bram@DIJONG ~ "nutc" is something Rational Rose changed - it installed a directory called "nutc" for itself. What should term be? Thank you once again for your help!
