Gvim as editor

I am a new listmember, but I have been using mc for ages.. I
have a little 
problem. I would like to bind 'F4' (editor) to gvim. I have
edited 
the 'bindings' file as follows:

# Text document
regex/.(txt|TXT|Txt)$
        Open=(gvim %f >/dev/null 2>&1 &)

but gvim is not called, and F4 calls vim in console mode,
which is very useful 
but I prefer the 'X' version. If I call gvim manually on a
file (using '') 
it's all right.

Thanks for helping me!

      Press F4 to edit the highlighted file.  Press  F14 
(usually
      Shift-F4)  to  start  the  editor  with  a  new, empty
file.
      Currently they invoke the vi editor, or the editor
specified
      in  the  EDITOR  environment  variable, or the
Internal File
      Editor if the use_internal_edit option is on.
[...]

The changes that you've made to your bindings file only
affect
the behaviour of MC when "Enter" is pressed on a
file ending
in the specified extension.
