D'oh! This is what this file originally said. It was all
alias x=y
export x
When this failed to work on my new Cygwin installation, I changed them
all to
export x=y
That still didn't work, so I changed them back ... to "set". D'oh.
That was my own stupid fault. Anyway, that wasn't working, but now it
seems to be. I just did 'source ~/.bashrc' again, and all seems well.
I'll double check this on my home system, where I did *not* tamper
with the .bashrc file.
Thanks for all your help on this.
Can you give me a hint how to add some directories to my PATH and
MANPATH variables in the .bashrc?
Thanks *very* much!
