Can you please point > me to the correct reference or email me the instructions? You can give a full path starting with /cygdrive/c in place of the C:. Then replace every \ in a Windows path with a /. Quote the whole thing if it has spaces or strange characters in it. Alternatively you can use the cygpath program to convert a Windows path to a cygwin one. For example: cygpath -ua 'C:\Users\moss' results in /cygdrive/c/Users/moss Note the quoting to avoid the usual interpretation of \ by the cygwin shell. This can be used in a command, e.g.,: ls $(cygpath -ua 'C:\Users\moss') man cygpath will tell you all about the program. HTH -- EM
