OK got locate working, but there seems to be something wrong in general with
calling commands.
"ls -l" works fine but...
"ls -l | more" does not
Also, I wanted to install cygipc but it gives me the following:
$ tar -C/ -xjf cygipc-1.13-2.tar.bz2
tar (child): cygipc.1.13-2.tar.bz2: cannot open: no such file or directory
tar (child): error not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
The file "tar.exe" is in my bin directory...why can't it see it?

Just to be clear, your shell is finding and running tar just fine (as you
can confirm with "tar --help". Messages of the form "tar: blah blah blah"
are from tar itself. If your shell couldn't find tar at all, you would get
something like "bash: tar: command not found".
