Hi,
I am a very new to vim, and am absolutely smitten by it.
I installed cygwin on my comp.
Now gVim is showing up with '$' symbols at the end of every line, and
ugly '>-----' headless arrows at the start of every line.
:set nolist
Also while in INSERT mode each press of the spacebar results in a $ sign
showing up at the cursor. Even my favorite "Crisp" font is not being
used by vim despite of having an entry in _vimrc.

Are you sure $HOME is set to the same directory? Maybe you are now running the
Cygwin "unix-like" version of Vim instead of your (possibly more up-to-date)
native-Windows version?
Try
:version
:echo $VIM
:echo $VIMRUNTIME
:echo $HOME
in gvim started from cygwin bash on the one-hand, and directly from the
Windows Dos Box (CMD.EXE) on the other hand, and compare the results.
Best regards,
Tony.
