Well let me work at it tomorrow.
I know how to do this on other unix systems, just that Cygwin is not
acting as I am used too.
I have done things like this on some versions of RHEL, UnixWare, Xenix,
MKS Tookit.
I guess I have to keep reading the Documentation and trying things.
( and no more use of the term Newbie :-) )

Can some one give me some hints about this ?
I read the documentation and can't figure this out.
I am trying to put an alias in a .bashrc
alias clear='printf "\033c"'
But what .bashrc do I put this in ? in /ect/skel or the one my user
directory. I put this code in and it seems to get overwritten.
I don't understand what I am doing wrong.
Overwritten? By what? What's your home directory?
It is a minor thing that i can't clear the screen, but i want to work at
this and try to fix this.
OK but 'clear' will do what you want.
Then I want to add a script to my profile. but what one the
.profile or
.bash_profile ?
Unless you want it available to all users and other shells, put it in
your
.bash_profile.
Other that these problems, I am converting my Korn shell scripts to bash
under Cygwin and it is going pretty good so far.
FYI, at least the last 2 questions above are general UNIX/Linux
questions.
You should consult a good UNIX/Linux resource for some basic user
tutorials
and guides.
