I think it is because gvim for unix requires X11 while vim does not. I use and installed the gvim for windows and run it from with rxvt terminals in cygwin and it works fine. The only problem I had was that it would not orginally accept unix style pathnames (forward slashes). I had to put in an add on packaage to get the pathnames to work right. If you are interested I will look up what that package was. -gene -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
