I use the following shell function cmd() to invoke batch files. It removes cygwinisms from the PATH and the environment first and does some argument pre-processing. It also seems to fix the space problem. [EMAIL PROTECTED] /c/Documents and Settings 10:36:09 508$ cat test.bat echo %1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /c/Documents and Settings 10:38:30 509$ cmd test "Hello, world."
