The -e is optional, but I like keeping my mintty commands consistent with those I write for other terminals.
HTH, Gary
I tried using mintty and it looks better than the default window the launching cygwin puts up. But I noticed that if I "vim" a file, nothing happens. When I control-C out, I can see that actually something did happen as there is a ".whatever.swp" file created. For the heck of it, I tried under an x shell (?hope I have my terminology right?) via "startxwin&" and had the same vim experience (no file opening but a swp file left).Are you using Cygwin vim or a native win32 vim? Win32 console programs generally aren't happy in mintty, and you should use their Cygwin equivalents.
Once again, thanks, Paul
