Re: cygpath question
Robert,
I need to make a slight amendment to what I wrote before. Please see below.

Here's what happens:
cd "`cygpath --unix "C:My Music"`"
I'm guessing your Cygwin root is the same as your C: drive root, so in
this case you more or less incidentally get the result you want
because your current directory was "/" (Cygwin) and "C:/" (Windows).
I should have tried an experiment. The current directory doesn't matter
(nor, in that case, does the relationship between your Cygwin root and
any particular Windows directory).
These two are identical:
cd "$(cygpath --unix "D:Documents and Settings")"
cd "$(cygpath --unix "D:\Documents and Settings")"
(I prefer the $( ... ) syntax to the `...` syntax.)
