Try: echo -n $HOME | od -tx1z If you have od installed you will see how the line ends, if it ends with hex. 0d then that is the problem, your .bashrc and / or scripts have CR LF endings, they should only have LF, fix them by using "d2u .bashrc" or any other file name. Of course the HOME variable is alredy set to "/home/adella<CR>", you'll have to set it again by sourcing the .bashrc script. -- René Berber -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
