True, but you can combine a script and an alias to give you the effect. Maybe put runRWS.sh in ~/bin/ and then add this alias to ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc: alias runRWS=". ~/bin/runRWS.sh" Then the command runRWS will work as you expect. -Ken Jackson -- 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/
