I have now tested 'cygstart cmd' on the three computers I use, and in every case I see the same problem with the TEMP and TMP environment variables - they retain the Cygwin pathname (regardless of whether this actually causes a problem with Word). For now, I've caused TEMP and TMP to be set to a Windows pathname within Cygwin. I don't see the bug if I run an older version of Cygwin (pre-2006 versions of the Cygwin DLL). TEMP and TMP used to be translated correctly in processes invoked by cygstart. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
