Karl,

I tried to use the vim.exe which was compiled by MingW and had problems w=
ith
rxvt.
If you move the rxvt.exe out of the way you start using cmd.exe and vim.e=
xe
works in there.
(But ther were some strange things to)
Ernie pointed out that by changing the shell script vi  in
(PATH/msys/1.0/bin)
from
  vi.exe "$@"
to
  gvim.exe "$@" &
you get the gui running which is just as convinient (to me).
But if you are really hung up on using vim.exe than I don't have an answe=
r
for you.
