You are simultaneously overquoting and underquoting. When you assign a value to PF you need to use either quotes or backslash-escapes, but not both. When you 'cd' you need to quote the argument if it contains spaces. $ export PF="/cygdrive/c/Program Files" $ cd "$PF" Brian -- 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/
