TextPad appears to be processing /tmp/crontab.1188 as the /t option
followed by the file name. Non-Cygwin programs generally don't support
Cygwin paths. Use cygpath. Here's an example for use with Emacs, a
non-Cygwin program:
emacs ()
{
command emacs "`cygpath -w \"$@\"`" &
}
If you want to set EDITOR perhaps you could make a shell script which does
the cygpathing.
