Bash: <test -w file> = true for a read-only file !!!

Thu Oct 8 08:26:00 GMT 1998

Hi B19 developers,
The test -w doesn't work on windows and unix files !!!
If I perform the following statement on a read-only file 
MyReadOnlyFile, the result is <Is writable> !!!
 if [-w MyReadOnlyFile ]
 then
 echo "Is writable"
 else
 echo "Is readonly"
 fi
My gnu-win32 beta release is:
uname -a : CYGWIN32_NT GLOBBY10 4.0 19.1 i686 unknown
Thanks for help or for patch...
bye
