Function to add an edit command to open files with Windows text editor in Cygwin

.bashrc

# Finally, thanking Larry Hall on cygwin newsgroup 
# I have my edit command to use my favorite text editor on Cygwin :-D
# These lines must be inserted in .bashrc file in your home

function edit() { 
cygstart /cygdrive/c/Programmi/Crimson\ Editor/cedt.exe "$(cygpath -w "$*")";
}

# Simpler, but useful, the open function
function open(){ cygstart "$*";}
