Hi Eric.

That did it.

Now, unfortunately, I seem to have a problem with Eclipse & Cygwin.
Specifically, as soon as I click anything, Eclipse is closed, and my
Bash Windows says something about how the running application (in this
case Eclipse) has a bug in it.  Any suggestions would be welcome.

Regards,
Steve
