Bill, Thanks for your help. Based on your suggestions I checked on the $VIMRUNTIME variable, and it was not set in my environment variables. Also, $PATH did not include the vim folder (I don't know if that makes a difference or not). After setting these variables, all menus appear to be working properly (yay!) and the tests you described produced similar results from my command prompt (although no file temp\vfile was created; instead, dialog windows popped up containing the information described. gvim %temp\vfile opened a blank file. )
Do you know if file name tab completions need to be initialized separately?
