Hi Toby,

I understand why you think so but I am not. The thing is that a have
set the PATH to find gawk. That is why I can use gawk from the scripts
folder in the first example. In the latter example I use a relative
path to the same folder as specified in the PATH.

I also tried the example found in the manual with the same result. I
did notice one thing though. I cant find the LC_ALL variable in a
console window it is only "valid" in cygwin? Also, one thing that
makes no sence is that use a console window in both cases above. I
dont use Cygwin or anything else. I would not suspect windows to
behave different in a console or a batch file...well no precision is
fine for me but it bothers me a bit when I dont know why it happens.

Thanks for your input...
