<snip> I assume you meant "ln -s /cygdrive/c/downloads" above. The answer to your question is to use '/bin/pwd'. This is not a Cygwin-specific issue so further discussion of it is really off-topic for this list. If you have further inquiries that you'd like to make on this or other non-Cygwin issues, please find a forum dedicated to your topic. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
