That nearly worked:

C:\mtn\elm.lynx.beta>mtn commit
mtn: beginning commit on branch 'elm.lynx.beta'
sh: C:\Program: command not found
Error running editor 'C:\\Program Files\\KDiff3\\kdiff3.exe' to enter
log message
mtn: misuse: edit of log message failed

C:\mtn\elm.lynx.beta>mtn commit
mtn: beginning commit on branch 'elm.lynx.beta'
sh: c:\cygwin\bin\diff3.exe: command not found
Error running editor 'c:\\cygwin\\bin\\diff3.exe' to enter log message
mtn: misuse: edit of log message failed

What did work in the end was adding the KDiff3 location to the windows
PATH variable and just having kdiff3.exe in the editor and MTN_MERGE
variable.

Thanks for your help
