Absolute file-path under bash (cygwin32)

[Mikey]

Not from bash.

vim(){
vim.exe `dospwd.sh $*`
}

try that,it's a little slow ;^), but I think it will work, and you only
have to set it up once, in .bashrc.

If you're really interested, there is a patch available from 
http://wwwdim.uqac.uquebec.ca/ftp/pub
that will allow you to rebuild the dll.
for ncurses/elvis :^(not vim) which is what I use.
