Suhaib,

With respect to question #3 below (my original problem),
your suggestions do not appear to make a difference:

bash$ cmd.exe /c 'dir C:\D'
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 4036-DAAB

 Directory of C:\D

04/23/99  11:38a        <DIR>          .
04/23/99  11:38a        <DIR>          ..
               2 File(s)              0 bytes
                          1,986,461,696 bytes free
bash$ mount
Device           Directory           Type        Flags
d:               /d                  native      text!=binary
C:               /                   native      text!=binary
bash$ cat /tmp/junk
#!/bin/sh

echo "Test executing a shell script from cygtclsh80"
bash$ /tmp/junk
Test executing a shell script from cygtclsh80
bash$ cygtclsh80
% /tmp/junk
couldn't execute "\tmp\junk": no such file or directory
% exec /tmp/junk
couldn't execute "\tmp\junk": no such file or directory
% exit
bash$
