Re: rxvt and path problems

Hi - I'm having trouble setting up RXVT on WinXP. I've got the following shortcut set up to launch RXVT:

C:\viper\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -sl 1500 -fn "Lucida Console-12" -bg black
-fg yellow -sr -e bash --rcfile "/cygdrive/c/viper/.bashrc"

My $HOME directory is set to the following, as seen in the RXVT:

ptomsic:bin> echo $HOME
/cygdrive/c/viper

<snip>


Why would it be okay when I first launch the RXVT shortcut, but then
simply changing to my $HOME directory causes everything to start misbehaving?

Substitute 'bash -l' for 'bash --rcfile "/cygdrive/c/viper/.bashrc"'.
