The `set' command, invoked without parameters, lists all the
available environment variables with their values, so my
command `set | grep vim' should have found `vim' too. Here
is my complete output of `echo %PATH%':

C:\MinGW\bin\
D:\PROGRAMS\TCC\
C:\WINDOWS\system32
C:\WINDOWS
C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem
D:\BIN\
D:\PROGRAMS\GRAPHVIZ\bin\
C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.10\lib\
C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.10\bin\
D:\PROGRAMS\FPC\bin\i386-Win32
C:\Program Files\GtkSharp\2.12\bin
C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin
C:\Program Files\Pandoc\

and the only instance of gvim.exe on my entire PC is:

C:\Program Files\Vim\vim80\gvim.exe

Yet I can start gvim from the command line in any
directory...
