problem with grep and exec-path

[Javier Oviedo]

Hello all:

I am using emacs 21.2 WINXP.

I add the following line to my .emacs file in order to include the execution
path for grep:

;;; Set exec paths.
(setq exec-path (cons "T:/gen/gnu/99-11-01/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32/bin"
exec-path))
;;;

I evalutate this line and see that indeed the path was modified correctly. I
still get errors when using grep.

If I, however, move grep.exe under the emacs-21.2\bin driectory, everything
seems to work.

Does anyone have any ideas on this path issue? I'd prefer to not have a copy
sitting in emacs-21.2\bin.

Thanks in advance.

Javier.
