What, and not install if you say no? Perhaps your best way to get a proper shell on windows is just to install a proper shell; Cygwin (<http://www.cygwin.com/>) has bash, but it also installs a bunch of other unixish stuff you might or might not want. This: http://www.steve.org.uk/Software/bash/ looks like a standalone bash, plus ls, mv, cp rm, chmod and less. Here: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html you can get various further bits of free software compiled for windows, including: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/coreutils.htm the GNU coreutils, which is the 1% of commands you use 99% of the time. bash + coreutils should do nicely. For a mostly complete GNU development toolchain, check out MinGW: http://www.mingw.org/ Which, IMHO, is a better solution than Cygwin for general programming. tom -- i'm prepared to do anything as long as someone else works out how to do it and gives me simple instructions... -- Sean -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
