There are other circumstances when it doesn't appear either. The attached
plugin helps some: it tries to run the ":intro" command as late as possible
when starting up. The filename intentionally starts with zz so that it be run
after any other plugins on systems where plugins are run in alphabetical
sequence. Drop it (on Unix-like systems) in ~/.vim/after/plugin/ or (on
Windows) in $HOME/vimfiles/after/plugin -- and create the directories first if
they don't exist yet.
AFAIK, this plugin can be used with any Vim version starting at 5.0 (and with
earlier versions, where the :intro command was not defined, it will just do
nothing).
For a more radical solution, remove the "if" clause starting at line 25 (until
the corresponding "endif").
Best regards,
Tony.
