Kent, I do understand. Really.
In the real vim, nothing happens if you type :r. You must either type
:r<return> or :r <filename><return>
The "solution" I am working on is to allow exactly this operation. At
present, you must indeed type::
:r<return><return>
or::
:r<return><filename><return>
but that initial extra <return> is to go away asap.

Thanks. I'll look into these.

All substitutions require the "solution" we are talking about. It
will happen asap.
Once that is in place, a vim-mode parser can deal with the entire
command line at once. This is inherently a simpler problem than
dealing with characters one at a time, but it will require new code.
In short, I am aware of the parsing problems and I appreciate the
status/bug report. I expect to have everything finished in about a
week.
