You probably have a non-printable control character at the end of the
line (perhaps due to using some Windows editor). Look:

$ ls
a
$ ls ^H
ls:: No such file or directory

Try a "cat -v" on your script. If that's not it, what do you get when
you run "ls" outside of the shell script?

Still can not.
bash-3.2$ ls.ksh
bash: /cygdrive/x/home/example/software/shell/ls.ksh: No such file or
directory
bash-3.2$ cat -v ls.ksh
/cygdrive/d/unixcommand/ls
bash-3.2$ pwd
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/ericl6
bash-3.2$ cat ls.ksh
/cygdrive/d/unixcommand/ls
bash-3.2$

I'm guessing that your current directory (/cygdrive/c/Documents and
Settings/ericl6) is not in your PATH but
/cygdrive/x/home/example/software/shell is, so when you invoke "ls.ksh"
you're actually invoking /cygdrive/x/home/example/software/shell/ls.ksh
rather than /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/ericl6/ls.ksh as you expect.

Try invoking it as "./ls.ksh" and, again, tell us what happens when you
invoke "ls" from the command line.

It seems obvious that either your $PATH or pwd (or both) change when you
launch an interactive bash shell. What do you do in your ~/.bashrc ?
Or read the bash man page (the "INVOCATION" section) to see what other
files may get sourced in an interactive shell.
