I think thath the problem is...You talked about you check the name for 
one or other behaviour dependent of the name of the exec. Probably, the 
function you use to check compare the name with "gst", or "gst-blox", 
but, from Windows shell, the name is with the extension included, and 
for this, gst <> gst.exe and don't works but if you execute GST from a 
comand line without the extension, gst=gst, then works.

As I said, GST works, but I'm unable to run gst-remote:
C:\msys\1.1\local\share\smalltalk\kernel/../scripts/Remote.st:37: C 
function not
defined

and then crash

Or to load Seaside Packages:
C:\msys\1.1\local\bin>gst
GNU Smalltalk ready
