Putting ":verbose" in front of each of those confirms that they have
not been changed from their default values.

I share my ~/_vimrc and ~/vimfiles between Windows and Cygwin Vims,
with appropriate changes to the settings in ~/.vimrc as needed.
I think I found the problem. When I started gvim from a command
prompt as "gvim -N -u NORC" and tried editing the remote file, I got
an error message in the resulting command window saying, "'sftp' is
not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program
or batch file." I restarted gvim as just "gvim" and found that it
was using the Cygwin sftp, which doesn't understand Windows-style
paths.

C:\Documents and Settings\Gary Johnson
(I know, if I had thought about the implications of including a
space in my user name when I set up this Windows machine, I would
not have done that.)

:echo tempname() shows
C:\DOCUME~1\GARYJO~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\VIB18.tmp
I can cd to that directory from the command prompt, so "GARYJO~1" is
apparently the short form of "Gary Johnson". "GARYJO" also happens
to be the first 6 characters of my remote user name.

I did not try that since I think I found the problem. Thanks for
your help and sorry to have wasted your time. I was trying to
exercise the latest Vim beta on Windows, but I think I'll stick to
the Cygwin version for remote file editing rather than try to find a
Windows version of sftp.

Gary
