This is a recommendation from Bill Hoag.

> I'd like to suggest adding a Getting Started section to the ReadMe.txt something like this:

> GETTING STARTED
> ---------------

> Define the HOME environment variable in the Windows environment variable set.
> For example, you might set HOME to C:\Users\MyUserId.

> In your HOME directory, create a .bashrc to customize your bash environment.
> Mine looks like this:
> alias la='ls -aCF'
> alias ll='ls -alCF'
> alias ls='ls -CF'
> alias up='cd ..'
> alias up2='cd ../..'
> alias up3='cd ../../..'
> alias vi='vim'
> alias rm='rm -iv'
> alias mv='mv -iv'
> alias cp='cp -ipv'
> alias find='gfind'
> export LS_COLORS='di=32:fi=0:ln=36:pi=5:so=5:bd=5:cd=5:or=31:mi=31:ex=93:*.rpm=90'

> Maybe this would be better as a FAQ or somewhere else?
