Thanks for all the help.
What I am trying to do is convert some Korn Shell scripts to bash to run
under Cygwin.
I am wondering, does cygwin have a preferred extension for scripts ?
It probably does not matter. Some of the scripts had .ksh on the end
of them.
I want to make everything uniform now that I am moving to Cygwin.

I am loving Cygwin.
I have been reading the manuals and documentation and have some
newbie questions.
1) When I go to execute a script, do I just type the name of it or
do i have to do a ./NameOfScript ?
just the name if it is located in one of the PATH directories as any
other command. instead "./NameOfScript" if you want to execute a
script or a command not in the PATH
For your own script " ~/bin" is a nice location
This is a generic Unix FAQ.
2) I am trying to do an Alias of the Clear Command ... in my bashrc
I has an alias for clear to do a printf "\033c". Well it does not
seem to work from my scripts, but works from shell prompt.
Is this a path issue ?
How you call the script ?
See on "info bash" at "6.2 Bash Startup Files"
3) I am still trying to figure out how to open a termial window and
have a menu script always run.
Should I put this in my .profile or is there a better way to do this ?
Do you need a standalone run, so the terminal close after, or you need
to drop to bash after the script ?
Your solution is fine for the second case, while on the first
you need to adapt the
"mintty.exe /bin/bash -l" to "mintty.exe /bin/bash -C yourscript"
Thanks for all the work of the Cygwin team.
