LERN2SHELL. Try "echo /c/Doc*/Paul/App*/Moz*/Fire*/Pro*/*default/" to see if you've actually got a real path there, or no matching path, or several matching paths. Try stripping components off one by one and seeing which one you made a mistake in. The multiple expansions work just fine for me: $ PS1="$ " pdksh $ cd /cygdrive/c/Doc*/Adm*/App*/Moz*/Fire*/Pro*/*default/ $ pwd /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/bfwp4loc.default $ Also, LERN2BUGREPORT. You told us all about how you feel, but completely omitted the crucial detail of WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS when you try it. Error message? No error message? Boxing glove on a spring comes out of your computer and punches you in the nose? cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
