Eli: A technical point. Adding the "shorcut" for Bash would in no way
change the current DOS -- command.com now available? Correct? I want to do
this too, but on a machine I don't own and I don't want to change what is
now working. So this would just be an added command interpreter--right?
Although, in a sense, I'm not sure you completely answered the question
unless your answer is "NO"--I mean we would still be using command.com with
bash imposed on it. But I have tried bash without command.com and while it
works I've never been comfortable with it that way, so I now call up bash
on top of command.com. All works well, but I don't know if this method
answers the gentleman's desire to never see it again.
