I discovered that I can get into that directory from the command line 
even though it is forbidden from the GUI!  But there are no simple files 
in it that I could use as syntax examples.  So what more do I have to 
add to the line

C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -e c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c C:\cygwin\bin\vim.sh

to make sendto work?
