Unable to declare a variable in Cygwin
I recently installed Cygwin on my windows vista to practice on Linux\unix commands.
I am unable to do a simple task of declaring variables on the command prompt
I am trying:
$ vech=Bus
$ echo $vech
bash: vech : command not found
What am I missing? Do i need to add something to .bashrc?
Also, I remember right click on the shell command gives the ability to copy or paste text from the shell. I am using Bash, how do I copy n paste text on shell window?
Thanks much
