Okay - here is from the Cygwin manual available online at http:// cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/cygwin-ug-net.html: "The PATH environment variable is used by Cygwin applications as a list of directories to search for executable files to run. This environment variable is converted from Windows format (e.g. C:\WinNT \system32;C:\WinNT) to UNIX format (e.g., /WinNT/system32:/WinNT) when a Cygwin process first starts. Set it so that it contains at least the x:\cygwin\bin directory where "x:\cygwin is the "root" of your cygwin installation if you wish to use cygwin tools outside of bash." -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
