Thanks. "vim -d" worked.
The important thing is that it works.
Just curious why "vimdiff" gets an error.
The manual says, "The easiest way to start editing in diff mode is with the "vimdiff" command."

Here is what I get from the Command Prompt:

C:\>vimdiff a.txt b.txt
'vimdiff' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\>vim -d a.txt b.txt

C:\>vim -d
