Nope. It manages to find ~/.emacs even if $HOME has been whacked by bash. Not sure how it does so, but it does. >Probably because bash is a unix program, not a Windows program? >Without looking at the bash source code (bad thing to say on this >list, I know), your complaint sounds like a feature request, not a bug >report. Perhaps, although I'm fairly sure that previous versions of bash *did* know how to complete win32-style pathnames. But maybe I'm misremembering. >It's not *always* possible to make $HOME a win32 path. I would expect >ssh and rsh, for example, to interpret the colon as host:path. I'm probably going to bail on that approach in any case and use shell functions, because not having completion is just too annoying. >For Emacs, have you looked into cygwin-mount.el? Here is one >reference: <http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-05/msg00684.html>. I guess that's another approach to the emacs issue, though it still doesn't help with other apps.
