What are you using for your shell (bash, command.com or cmd.exe) ?
If you are not using bash, then I advise you to try it. If you don't want a unix type
shell then you will have to try another alternative to the M$ shells.
If you are using bash, then I don't know what your alternatives are. It might be a
limitiation in the executables that are being invoked ?
