Or maybe you are thinking of tcsh syntax, where $path is a space-separated synonym for the colon-separated $PATH. tcsh syntax doesn't work in bash (hopefully, it is obvious why not), and your listing had colons, so even if you were to use tcsh with that $path you would have problems. -- Eric Blake cygwin bash maintainer -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
