The path I've shown as $HOME is not arcane at all. In a windows exlorer, this is something like H:/My Documents/home/. But why do you think that HOME can be subject to changes during a session? And why does it *not* change if I set HOME to a local drive? regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://www.mhoenicka.de AQ score 38 -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
