newbie to cygwin questions

[Kisacikoglu Gokhan]

I am terribly sorry if these topics were already
covered, but can't these going;

**** 1. setenv, getenv is missing!

> setenv fooEnvVar 1
bash: setenv: command not found


**** 2. I type;

> set fooSetVar = 1

and then nothing comes out this command;

> echo $fooSetVar

even with this;

> set | grep fooSetVar

So, "set" is broken for me...

**** 3. How can I make "more" work properly? 

> cat bigUNIXTextFile.txt | more.com

works, but the lines are not terminated properly, but
kept as one continuous line (I believe this is due to
the carriage return thing which is different from
windows OS). It waits when the terminal is filled with
text though...

any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
-kisa

That are tcsh commands, not bash, start tcsh instead of bash.

That is DOS syntax, start cmd.exe/command.com to get this.

You dont use bash syntax ("fooSetVar=1" or export "fooSetVar=1")
moreover your questions are somehow off topic here and
you also should read the manuals before posting.
