Once again, thanks a lot. Even if I hate to bother you, well, now that we once started this... See, first something like this happened: linux:/usr/share/vim/vim61/syntax # patch -i /home/ulf/vim/abcSymbol.patch abc.vim patching file abc.vim Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n] Apply anyway? [n] Skipping patch. 3 out of 3 hunks ignored -- saving rejects to file abc.vim.rej Then I thought, I might answer something different to that question and tried: linux:/usr/share/vim/vim61/syntax # patch -i /home/ulf/vim/abcSymbol.patch patching file abc.vim Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n] y Hunk #2 FAILED at 33. Hunk #3 FAILED at 57. 2 out of 3 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file abc.vim.rej linux:/usr/share/vim/vim61/syntax # Anyway, I understand we talk about a file called abc.vim and I saved a copy of it before and now have copied it back, so no harm has happened, but still something doesn't seem to work. It does make some kind of sense to you, doesn't it? ==== It might be with this thing like with so many other things: If I knew what I am doing, I'd be better off. I will get around to "configuration files" etc. eventually... your, Ulf To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
