Shame on NEdit - Can't Hack Cygwin

Stuff you've relied on for years and years, now you get "Error starting shell: /bin/csh". Why can't they code it so it figures out what shells are available, and, the first time you filter stuff, tell you how you can choose something else?

nedit -xrm "nedit.shell: /bin/bash" worked, mercifully..

In you ~/.bashrc :
alias medit='nedit -xrm "nedit.shell: /bin/bash"'

will let you use "medit" in place of nedit. If you know why aliasing nedit doesn't work, please tell me :)
