Huh? Are you just trying random things? Neither of those should
complete because they're invalid. "." means the current directory. So,
typing ./foo means "a file named foo in the current directory", and if
you're in /cygdrive/g there is no such file myscript.sh, thus nothing to
complete. .~/bin is even more nonsensical.
Yes, I am trying random things in response to the previous poster. It
may lead me to a better understanding of the issue; most of the time
it sends me on a tangent.
If you believe that previous poster was me, then I think you misunderstood
me. In any case, please stop trying random things and embarking on
tangents. None of that is likely to be helpful to anyone.
