Sorry, but customizing bash is already discussed here:
<http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-files.html>
This new section is about Windows, not bash. It is true that using
bash --login helped solve your original problem, but there are equally
good solutions that do not require customizing bash that I mention
(like using bash -c '/bin/sort'). I don't see how a discussion about
using --login and changing the PATH in .profile pertains to this
since it is alrady mentioned elsewhere.
If you disagree, please provide a sample paragraph that makes the
connection clear and I'd be happy to take a look at it.
