I've found that when I type "gvim a" from the command line, I get a message in the status line after gvim has started up that gives some info about the file a. For example, if the file doesn't exist, it says ""a" [New File]"; if the file does exist but is empty, it says ""a" 0L, 0C".
This is a very nice feature, but it doesn't seem to work with vim (as opposed to gvim). From what I can tell, the message IS displayed with vim, but it disappears after a fraction of a second. I know I can get similar info by typing CTRL-G, but obviously it would be better if I didn't have to do that every time I open a file. So, is this a bug in vim, or a problem with my settings, and if the latter, how can I fix this? If it's important, I'm running Windows XP, vim 7.2, and I'm using cygwin (bash) as my command line.
