eg. I have a directory called c:\bat which contains a bunch of batch files
to launch other programs and such. Those programs aren't found. the error
message is:
BASH.EXE: ve: command not found
whoa, dude! I just realized that if I type ve.bat, it finds it. Hmm... is
there a way to tell bash that .bat files are executables?
Thanks, Earnie.
