Hi,

I have gvim installed and when I do:
$ crontab -e
gvim opens up my crontab.

But, it opens it as readonly and saving it requires wq! but then when
it exits, I see:
$ crontab.exe -e
crontab: no changes made to crontab

But I did do the changes!
Anyways, if I use this command to edit my crontab:
$ EDITOR=vim crontab -e
then everything is OK but isn't GUI like I want.

Any ideas what I can do to resolve this?
NOTE: to create my initial crontab, I had to use the latter command.

Shai
