Hi all
I am trying to configure the $PATH variable in cygwin and am having problems getting a path to program files to work. It keeps saying "Program: No such file or directory". I've tried to put quotes (both single and double) around the offending line but it doesn't work as well.


what is the correct syntax?

Depends on what you're trying to do. This is an example of me launching 'ALZip' from 'bash':

#echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/WINDOWS/system32:/WINDOWS:/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/Program Files/Intel/DMIX:/Program Files/ESTsoft/ALZip/:/Program Files/ATI Technologies/ATI.ACE/:/Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/90/Tools/binn/:/Interix/common/:/Program Files/ESTsoft/ALZip/:/home/lhall/bin


#ls /Program\ Files/ESTsoft/ALZip/
ALBanner.dll    AZCTM.dll       Language/       unacev2.dll
ALTip.dll       AZCTM64.dll     Newzip.dat      unins000.dat
ALTip.ini       AZMain.dll      alupdate.exe    unins000.exe
ALZEXE.DAT      Az7z.dll        alupopt.dll     unrar4.dll
ALZip.exe       AzCDImage.dll   alzip.chm
ALZipIcon.dll   CrashRpt_D.dll  readme.txt

#ALZip

ummm found the problem was between the chair and the keyboard 8-)
