Multiple options: 1) set it in the Windows environment (for example, win-pause, advanced tab, environment variables, then add a new user variable) 2) use an editor that doesn't munge line endings (cygwin has the option of emacs, vi, ...) 3) use the shell, since the edit is trivial: $ echo 'export TMPDIR=/path/to/where/you/want/it' >> ~/.bash_profile - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
