darcs: vi: runProcess: does not exist (No such file or directory)

Any ideas on how to resolve this?  The platform is as follows:

For inputting the long comment, darcs calls an external editor, which is vi by default. The error you get is because Windows doesn't have vi. You can make it use notepad instead by using "set DARCS_EDITOR=Notepad" first. However, Notepad doesn't understand linefeed on its own being a newline, so it's a bit messy (You have to add newlines yourself after the patch name and the long description you type, and then probably get useless carriage returns in the long description). You might want to instead use an editor that understands Unix line endings (eg Crimson Editor)

Alternatively, you can just never have a long comment and ignore the whole thing.
