When using xterm to run a command such as:
xterm -hold -e "man ls"
cygwin reports the error message:
no absolute path found for shell : man ls
However, if the command is run with:
xterm -hold -e man ls
everything appears to work fine.
That sounds like something I broke in xterm #201, which is fixed in #203.
"xterm -v" would show the patch number.
