Hello,

For all fearless Wingrass users, I would like to share a solution for the following bug ...."many shell scripts do not work, even if you enable correctly msys and include LIB and BIN paths in the PATH windows variable............" (from the readme file at the wingrass webpage).

PROBLEM - Long story short, g.mlist gave me errors because it did not fine "sed" and other executables, therefore scripts like g.mlist and g.mremove do not work
SOLUTION -
1 - open the "Init.bat" file located in the "<grassinstallationdirectory>/grass-6.3.xxx/etc" ... do not use notepad but a better editor that recognizes unix formatted text 2 - add the line below after the ..........if not "%GRASS_ADDON_PATH%"==...................... line (should be line 29)
          set PATH=/c/msys/1.0/bin;%PATH%
3 - of course /c/msys/1.0/bin is the path to the bin directory of msys, if yours is different, adapt.
   4 - start grass and try.

Hope it helps!
