I have installed cygwin 1.3.10 and "vi" does not work
well.  Upon install, I started the shell and typed:
vi /etc/profile
but it did not find the existing "profile".  Instead,
it started a new file, being unable to open the file
from a different path.

However, I can "cd" to the /etc directory and then vi
profile and get to it fine that way.  I've read the
FAQs and studied through a huge list of mailing list
but have found no reference to this.  

Any assistance would be wonderful.

Thank you,

John
