 what does `which sort` say? how about `which echo`?

 do /bin/sort.exe and /bin/echo.exe exist?

 are you running the commands from a MSys rxvt terminal prompt, a cmd.exe
 DOS box, or the wxGUI command-line entry box?

 In your $PATH /bin comes before /c/WINDOWS/system32, so I'm not sure why
 it wouldn't pick up /bin/sort.exe if it was there.


 thanks,
