Hi Martin, > Is this only a problem of my system, or also reproduceable on > other systems ?
well, this is normal. myeditor knows nothing about posix paths, since it is no Cygwin application. For non-Cygwin apps you have to convert the path yourself: myeditor "`cygpath -w /etc/services`" and you should take care in case of a non-Cygwin editor, that it can handle unix text file format!
