Hmm. In English the term "as well" as you used it is a synonym for "in addtion" or "also". When you said that the article about the CYGWIN environment variable would be nice under 'Setting up Cygwin->Environment Variables' as well, I understood this to mean that you wanted the description in two places. That's why I suggested that you provide a patch to add a link to the descriptive location in the setup description. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
