I believe this is a non-problem. The cause: human error. Doing a
cd /c/Doc*/pa*/App* is not the same as
cd /c/Doc*/Pa*/App*
Wildcard lookups are always case sensitive. I must not have been
consistant when switching between Windows.

Dave: Let's put this prob on hold for a while. At least til I
investigate it some more. Something is acting weird. This prob has
disappeared! I tried unloading everything just in case some name
cache had it already expanded. I did get correct results from using
latest pdksh. Weird.

Just want to point out a slightly difference in behavior of ksh
@(#)PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2
between Cygwin 1.5 & 1.7 First, the above is a older version of pdksh
that I had to tweek the cygwin sources a l-o-n-g time ago. Under 1.5,
the following does work properly:
$ cd /c/Doc*/Paul/App*/Moz*/Fire*/Pro*/*default/
LERN2SHELL. Try "echo /c/Doc*/Paul/App*/Moz*/Fire*/Pro*/*default/"
to see if
you've actually got a real path there, or no matching path, or
several matching
paths. Try stripping components off one by one and seeing which one
you made a
mistake in. The multiple expansions work just fine for me:
$ PS1="$ " pdksh
$ cd /cygdrive/c/Doc*/Adm*/App*/Moz*/Fire*/Pro*/*default/
$ pwd
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Application
Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/bfwp4loc.default
$
Also, LERN2BUGREPORT. You told us all about how you feel, but
completely
omitted the crucial detail of WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS when you try it.
Error
message? No error message? Boxing glove on a spring comes out of
your computer
and punches you in the nose?
cheers,
