How to run default dir command under FAR file manager?
I have Cygwin installed somewhere in the path. So I have
>where dir
D:UsersDimsDesignCygwin64bindir.exe
When I run DIR from CMD I get the normal Windows DIR:
>dir /?
Displays a list of files and subdirectories in a directory.
DIR [drive:][path][filename] [/A[[:]attributes]] [/B] [/C] [/D] [/L] [/N]
[/O[[:]sortorder]] [/P] [/Q] [/R] [/S] [/T[[:]timefield]] [/W] [/X] [/4]
...
But if I run it from under FAR, it takes DIR from Cygwin:
>dir /?
/usr/bin/dir: cannot access /?: No such file or directory
So, FAR is somehow ignoring precedence of built-in Windows commands. Is it possible to re-enable it?

dir is an internal command of cmd.exe, hence you can't run it in any other shells including Windows PowerShell. There's no separate dir.exe
C:>where dir
INFO: Could not find files for the given pattern(s).
There's no such thing like "Windows dir" or "built-in Windows commands". In PowerShell dir and ls are aliases of Get-ChildItem so you'll get an output like this instead of cmd's dir command output
PS C:> dir
Directory: C:

The closest (and only way) you could come is calling cmd itself
cmd /c dir
or cmd /k dir if you want the cmd shell to remain.
