Re: would you mind answering this problem?

Hi Phil,
thanks for reminding - I didn't see it because I expected cygwin to do 
the translation like it does within programs because of the ' '
But you're right. I was concentration more on his XWin dosn't start :)
He should append his new paths at the end of the statement anyway imo. 
So if he messes something up the rest of cygwin will still work.

export PATH="${PATH}:${G4INSTALL}/bin/${G4SYSTEM}:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Java"
