it seems its version cygwin 3.0.7-1, with its kernel version
3.0.7(0.338/5/3). If you did not realize it, I'm unfamiliar with Cygwin, as
well as with GNU/Linux.

Terminal) into a file I saved with the extension .sh hoping to have that
work as a shell script. I then input in the terminal the uncensored
"./cygdrive/SHELL_SCRIPT_FULL_PATH" and got the uncensored version of
"-bash: ./cygdrive/SHELL_SCRIPT_FULL_PATH: No such file or directory". Oh!
And it likely is the right path as when I do the command "ls
/cygdrive/SHELL_SCRIPT_FULL_PATH" it gives the output
"/cygdrive/SHELL_SCRIPT_FULL_PATH".

you should omit the leading dot.  cygdrive hangs off the root of the cygwin
file system.

By doing the 2 former recommendations, it works; I've tried them separately
and it fail doing so.

Again, thank you.
