I use the cygwin shell from within Vim by using the following in my _vimrc
: set shell=c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat
If I use :r!date to insert the current date, the shell will open and I
have to type the command date again. Then after typing exit the
shell exits and the date is placed in the buffer.
@Kevin
vim passes the date command somehow to the shell invoked. If you set the shell
to your script, which is calling the real shell, the information about to
invoke the date command gets lost.
