<h1>Mercurial version 0.9 for Windows</h1>
<p>Welcome to Mercurial for Windows!</p>
<p>Mercurial is a command-line application. You must run it from
the Windows command prompt (or if you're hard core, a <a
href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> shell).</p>
<p><div class="indented"><i>Note: the standard <a
href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> msys startup script uses
rxvt which has problems setting up standard input and output.
Running bash directly works correctly.</i></div>
<p>For documentation, please visit the <a
href="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial">Mercurial web site</a>.</p>
<p>By default, Mercurial installs to <tt>C:\Mercurial</tt>. The
Mercurial command is called <tt>hg.exe</tt>.</p>
<h1>Testing Mercurial after you've installed it</h1>
<p>The easiest way to check that Mercurial is installed properly is to
just type the following at the command prompt:</p>
<pre>
hg
</pre>
<p>This command should print a useful help message. If it does,
other Mercurial commands should work fine for you.</p>
<h1>Configuration notes</h1>
<p>The default editor for commit messages is 'vi'. You can set the EDITOR
(or HGEDITOR) environment variable to specify your preference or set it in
mercurial.ini:</p>
<pre>
[ui]
editor = whatever
</pre>
