Hello, In Cygwin using this version of BASH, my attempts to get a simple name of the shell interpreter into my prompt (PS1) using escaped-s ('\s'), which should work accoding to http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt- HOWTO/bash-prompt-escape-sequences.html does not give the basename of of the shell but the relative path by which I invoked bash: '/bin/bash'.
The HOWTO above states: \s the name of the shell, the basename of $0 (the portion following the final slash) Is Cygwin not compliant with this?
