Sorry, my bad. I did include "-N" for my test but neglected to include it above. > Unfortunately given the command line below Vim still starts with > the same gibberish I described in my first e-mail: > > vim -u NONE -U NONE -N -c 'let &rtp = $VIMRUNTIME | runtime! > plugin/**/*.vim | edit http://www.vim.org/' I may have found a clue. I started vim much as you did but with 'verbose' set to 9 and the output saved to a file. vim -u NONE -U NONE -i NONE -N -V9vimout -c 'let &rtp = $VIMRUNTIME | runtime! plugin/**/*.vim | edit http://www.vim.org/' Before displaying the contents of the URL, Vim displayed this at the bottom of the screen: :!elinks 'http://www.vim.org/' -source > '/tmp/vOjHkf8/0' "/tmp/vOjHkf8/0" 412L, 16869C /home/garyjohn Press ENTER or type command to continue The log file 'vimout' also contained some commands related to elinks. So I wonder if there might be something wrong or just different about your installation of elinks. If you don't have elinks, netrw might try to use some other program and there might be a problem with it. On this RHEL4 system, "which elinks" returns "/usr/bin/elinks" and "elinks -version" returns "ELinks 0.9.2 - Text WWW browser". Try that and let's see what you get.
