This works great!

How do I "see the bash man page"?

echo $PATH produces:
/cygnus/CYGWIN~1/H-I586~1/bin:/cygnus/CYGWIN~1/H-I586~1/bin:d:/fsf/emacs-19.34/bin:d:/fsf/bin:/WINNT/system32:/WINNT:d:/CCLIB/libnt:d:/WATCOM/BINNT:d:/WATCOM/BINW:d:/util:.:d:/PROGRA~1/ULTRAEDT
d:/fsf/emacs-19.34/bin contains emacs.exe
but I can't run emacs unless I specify the full path
d:/fsf/bin contains man.exe but I can't run man.
Is the cygwin install supposed to contain man.exe?

This works great. Thanks
