While there is an info file on bash, and even a man entry, there seems to be nothing whatsoever about ash on the system. If we are not able to use the abilities of bash, how do we find out what abilities we can use? Entering sh and typing help doesn't give any useful info. The screen capabilities seem to be different. All I seem to be able to find is that bash is 500 odd k, while sh is 69 odd k. -- Chuck F ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Available for consulting/temporary embedded and systems. <http://cbfalconer.home.att.net> USE worldnet address! -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
