Calling CMD.EXE in NT

[Kevin Wright]

Todd,

I have cmd.exe in my path, thus:
~ > type cmd
cmd is hashed (/d/WINNT/system32/cmd)

Because it is on my D: drive which is in the mount table for cygnus, 
it only needs one "/"

Example of usage:

~ > cmd /c dir

gives me the "dos" version of dir as opposed to cywin's which is 
the same as ls.

Hope this helps,

Kevin
