Hi,

Still v new to Cygwin with not much unix experience so this is probably
trivial...

why does this work OK

/usr/bin
bash-2.04$ sed -n 'p' /usr/info/time.info

< ... output omitted .... >

but this not work:

bash-2.04$ for FI in `ls /usr/info/*.info`; do  sed -n 'p' $FI; done
sed: can't read /usr/info/autoconf.info: No such file or directory
sed: can't read /usr/info/automake.info: No such file or directory

This arose while trying to install info following a mail msg posted to this
list.

Any tips much appreciated...
