Spot on, Larry. $PATH is empty.
I 'Reinstall'ed Cygwin, but the result is the same. I did take note of 
setup complaining that there is a more recent version available according 
to the ini file (2.774 vs 2.674) but I'm picking that isn't the problem.

/etc/postinstall contains the following "done" script files:
base-files-mketc.sh.done
base-files-profile.sh.done
bash.sh.done
coreutils.sh.done
cygwin-doc.sh.done
man.sh.done
passwd-grp.sh.done
terminfo.sh.done
terminfo0.sh.done
update-info-dir.sh.done

Is there something missing from that list? What's my next step? I haven't 
yet tried running them manually, that will have to wait until tonight (gmt 
+ 12).

Thanks, Colin
