Right - My problem comes when I want to run a windows app from the cygwin shell. For example: gvim.exe /c/src/myfile.cs Why would I want to do this: 1. The Cygwin shell in general has all sorts of goodies that cmd doesn't have. I have a cygwin shell open 24/7. 'Nuff said. 2. There are, however, still windows applications that I may want to run from the command line. (i.e. Visual Studio or some other native windows app.) 3. When typing the *nix path, I get the tab auto-completion. However they did it, the MSYS devs made it so that I can type a cygwin path, and yet a windows path gets sent as the argument to the windows executable. I posted on the MSYS list and they suggested I ask here. Maybe I should clarify my intent. Anyway, thanks for your help! -- 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/
