Besides, you can do it much simpler in sed, something like
alias pwd='pwd | sed -e"s,^/cygdrive/\(.\),\1:," -eTz -e"s,/,\\\,g" -e:z'
Or, since the OP wanted the mixed style ('/' instead of '\') even this
alias pwd='pwd | sed -e"s,^/cygdrive/\(.\),\1:,"'

I see I have much to learn about sed, beyond the obvious of combining steps I missed. Thanks; that will help clean up another tidbit I've done to check the path for multiple copies of cygwin1.dll.
Apparently, I have much to learn about Thunderbird, too, as I thought I had it configured to wrap lines for me at 72 characters, which my prior post obviously didn't.
