I'd love to  use whatever works, I've got no problem using Cygwin emacs
or Vim but for some reason, crontab -e insists on firing up a new
instance of NT Emacs. 

Is there no way of just creating the file without using crontab -e?

If not, how do I get it to use a different editor? I already have
EDITOR=/bin/vim in my .profile and have tried /bin/vim.exe in case that
was the problem.
