* file completion in bash shell from emacs

I have emacs 19.34.6 for windows 95 and I have installed the cygwin 20.1
package and am able to invoke a bash shell from emacs with "M-x shell".

I have seen a problem with file completion. The problem is that the forward
slash(/)directory delimiter is replaced by the backward slash(\). So if had a
hierarchy as
dir1
	dir2

And from dir1, I say ls <TAB>, I get ls dir2\, instead of ls dir2/, and I have
to manually change the \ to / to descend.

I have not seen this problem when the bash shell is invoked by itself(i.e 
cygnus.bat), and it correctly\x04\x04gives the / delimiter.

I would like to know how how to have the same behaviour inside a bash shell 
opened from emacs.

Any comments/suggestions are highly appreciated.

This does not happen with the Cygwin build of Xemacs.  You might want
to look into it.  There is no binary available yet.

If you are refering to nt-emacs, then you should check its home
page/faq at < http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html >,
and possibly bring it up on the ntemacs-users mailing list described
therein.
