Well, the main things I want to do are:
1) Run stunnel just by typing 'stunnel'
2) Run mutt
3) Add /usr/local/nmh/bin to my path, so I can run the nmh programs, and
4) Add /usr/local/nmh/man to my manpath, so I can get at the man pages.
Of these, the only thing I can do now is #2, but all of this used to
work on my previous system.

This is a remnant of when I had the cygwin version of XEmacs installed.
I did this purely to run MH-E. I may do this again, but it's not an
issue for now.

As I mentioned, I'm not a bash expert. I just need to do those few
basic things. At some point, I'll figure out why tcsh takes forever to
start on my system, and then I'll use that.
Thanks!
