There must be something wrong with recent setups. Once upon a time, running the cygwin.bat brought up bash, went through a series of startup/login scripts and then it worked. Now, as the poster said, bash and nothing works. One is NOT in the home directory but actually in the /usr/bin but no path has been set. Confirm this by running common commands such as "ls". The will work as "./ls".
