My Windows $HOME has been set to "C:\cygwin\home\user" via the Windows 
control panel. I would not know how to set $HOME to a different value 
for Cygwin ("/home/user/"? This is the value I enter manually when I 
start Cygwin/GRASS after a native winGRASS session -- because it cannot 
find "C:\cygwin\home\user" ). I tried setting &HOME in Cygwin via 
.bashrc but it did not work. The fact is that when GRASS starts up, it 
seems to look into GISDBASE value written in ~/.grassrc6 during the last 
session.

Thanks and regards,

Luigi
