You could, but why not put it in ~/.profile so it's read just once by the login shell, and any child shells then have it in the environment, instead of having to do it themselves? FRom memory, bash will look for ~/.bash_login, ~/.profile, ~/.login, (not sure if it's in that order), and use the first one it finds. But it won't do this if $HOME was created by Cygwin "mkdir" instead of by Windows Explorer, due to some mysterious access permissions problem. BTW, I use .profile because it's usable regardless of what (Bourne-like) shell you use. luke -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
