Most people use vim, or Emacs or XEmacs. You probably have vim installed. For Emacs and XEmacs you have to explicitly install them. BTW: You don't "download and put into the BIN" anything. You use setup.exe to "install" Cygwin apps. You could augment your PATH to include paths to other editors/apps on your system but if your trying to use the command line as simply a launcher of other, non-Cygwin Windows apps then you're not really getting it... -- Andrew DeFaria Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
