Re: starting cygwin shell

Hello Forum,
I am new to cygwin.
I am trying to create a .bat file so I can start cygwin from w7 windows menu.
Cygwin install creates a "Cygwin Terminal" icon on your desktop in in your Programs menu. You can drag or (with Control-) copy it anywhere in menus where you want it. Is that what you need?

(unclear)

Second question:

I am running below code and shell dissapear.
I could catch the message before it happens. Do you know what seems to be a
problem?

for k in `ls`
do
print "here is $k"
done
$ type print
print ist /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/print
So you effectively tried to print files called "here is ..." with a Windows tool.
You probably meant this instead:
echo "here is $k"
