Thanks again and here is the resulting scriptfile:

#!/bin/sh
c:/Textpad/TextPad.exe `cygpath -w $1`

I named it CygTextPad and put it in /usr/bin

Now you can edit your profile file and add

EDITOR="/bin/CygTextPad"

Runs like a dream. Anyone who wants to try it should take care of the
TextPad pathname though. Make sure it reflects your setup.
