Assuming you start bash now by clicking on the icon for cygwin.bat, simply edit that file, and replace "bash" with "zsh". You'll need to review the man page for zsh to see what are the appropriate flags to pass to get a login shell. I don't have zsh installed otherwise I might give you a clue. ;-) Larry Hall [EMAIL PROTECTED] RFK Partners, Inc. http://www.rfk.com 838 Washington Street (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office Holliston, MA 01746 (508) 893-9889 - FAX -- 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/
