Yes, I meant "echo":
prompt> echo "hello" > foo.txt
bash: foo.txt: No such file or directory
Also, checking my records, I did not have this problem
with the current cygwin release as of last February
(2004); the problem only began happening when I
upgraded in August to Cygwin 5.1 NT with cygwin DLL
1.5.10.
Did something change in Cygwin that could be affecting
this (even if it is not Cygwin's fault)? Is is
possible I have some libraries out of sync?
