In the properties of my Windows XP system, HOME is set to c:\Users\Luc I've patched /etc/profile to make cygwin think it is in fact /cygdrive/f/Users/Luc Neither VIM nor VIMRUNTIME are set. I'm currently using gvim to edit this response. gvim has been launched thanks to cyg-wrapper, and it expands $HOME, $VIM and $VIMRUNTIME into: f:\Users\Luc f:\Program Files\Edition\vim f:\Program Files\Edition\vim\vim62 The _vimrc used is the one from $VIM (I do not have to say anything to vim), and the viminfo is $HOME/.viminfo because of set viminfo=%,'50,\"100,:100,n~/.viminfo in my _vimrc. > BTW, what's the best place to store cyg-wrapper.sh . I store it to > /usr/bin. Is /bin better? Wherever you want. Personnally, I prefer $HOME/bin. Thus the day I reinstall cygwin or use it on another computer, I don't forget all the little scripts I use. If I had to choose between cygwin directories, I would use /usr/local/bin as I install non-cygwin-standard stuff into /usr/local/ -- understand, the stuff I've compiled like mutt, a colored version of abook, irssi, w3m, librairies, ...
