/usr/bin tools and directories with backslashes

[Jeffrey Twu]

Hi all,

	I like to use Cygwin in a Win2K cmd.exe shell, and I have
C:\cygwin\bin in my PATH.  I've noticed, though, that commands that I
use very frequently (mv, cp, rm, unzip) don't handle backslash ('\')
directory strings very well.  For example, I tried to unzip foo.zip -d
\, and no files could be created.

	I presume this is normal behavior?  And the advice is:  "Stop
using cmd.exe and use {bash,tcsh}"?  Please confirm.  Thanks, much!
