Hi,

though SSH at least :

Files\Samsung\Samsung PC Studio 3\
gives :
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/orawin/BIN:/cygdrive/c/Program

Files/Samsung/Samsung PC Studio 3/:/bin
note the unconverted path between double-quotes :
"C:/Program Files/Hummingbird/Connectivity/7.00/Accessories/"
I saw this problem on msys, I think it applies to cygwin as well.
If you just go into environment under advanced system settings in
control panel and remove the double quotes, it will work correctly. I'm
on Windows 7.
also, how about to get rid of final slashes (.../ => ...) ?
You could reprocess your PATH in your .bashrc, but the final slashes
should have no effect on how the PATH is actually used...
I cobbled together this awk script, I don't actually know awk :)
export PATH=$(awk
'BEGIN{RS="[:\n]"}{if(NR>1){printf(":")}sub(/\/$/,"",$0);printf("%s",$0)}'
<<<$PATH)
this appear to work well under Windows Vista (i.e. : /cygdrive/c/Program
Files/Hummingbird/Connectivity/7.00/Accessories)
