Any cygwin users out there?

[Søren Hauberg]

Hi,
  I'm looking for a cygwin user who will test do a simple test for me 
(I don't have easy access to cygwin). The help text for the octave-forge 
command "edit" tells me that I can use a native Windows editor by typing

edit('editor', '"C:/Program Files/Good Editor/Editor.exe `cygpath -wa %s`"')

Could anybody test if it's possible to write

edit('editor', '"C:/Program Files/Good Editor/Editor.exe $(cygpath -wa 
%s)"')

instead?

Thanks, Søren
