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.
