It sounds like you don't have a PATH set up so that BASH knows where
to find the commands.  I haven't had that happen before.

If you can create a ".profile" file in the c:\cygwin\home\<user>\
directory, please do so and make it look like this:


export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/cygdrive/c/Perl/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINNT:/cygdrive/c/TCWIN45/BIN:/usr/X11R6/bin:/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/local/lib:.


Change the the "WINNT" portion to whatever the Windows directory is
on your machine.  Then start up a new Cygwin window and type:

    echo $PATH

You should see the new path, and a bunch of the commands should work
for you now.

Send to my home address or the list for further help, 'cuz the
weekend is here.
