Hmmm.  That doesn't look like an option.  I'll
make a request and/or change e-mail services...

Yeah, you're right.  I'll fix that.

Good eye.  I have my HOME set in my .bashrc.  I'm
using an "organizational" computer.  "They" "nazified"
the systems, so I stuck HOME on my network folder.
When I do an "ls -l /etc/passwd", I get,
"no such file...".  I'm not sure what "they" did, but
"they" don't seem to want to answer my questions about
"their" cygwin configuration.  I asked to have
vi included in the configuration, but no response...

I decided to take matters into my own hands.  I
installed cygwin on my network drive and specified
vi and some other stuff, then set my PATH to look at
my installation after "their" installation.  It seems
to work ok.  I had to delete/move my cygwin1.dll so the
system wouldn't freak out.  The system preferred the
cygwin1.dll that is part of the system config, not
my config (I hope that makes sense...).

Do you see any problem with the /etc/passwd
mismatch?

I installed rxvt.  That solves the problem with
the geometry thing.  I am in my happy place now :) .
