My first guess is that
:au filetype BufRead
will give you the hint you need.
This is from vim70\filetype.vim:
" Clipper (or FoxPro; could also be eviews)
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.prg
\ if exists("g:filetype_prg") |
\ exe "setf " . g:filetype_prg |
\ else |
\ setf clipper |
\ endif
And I have confirmed that clipper.vim IS the script being used. Here
is a question... is myfiletypes.vim still being used, or has it been
deprecated? I started using vim way back in 3.x... all I can find in
the help files refers to filetypedetect and the ftdetect directory...
By searching on filetype I found a reference to myfiletypefile that
mentions that myfiletypes.vim is for backward support for vim 5.x
only... so it looks like it may have been recently removed. This
would explain alot... I guess I better read up on using the ftdetect
directory :(

not opening correct syntax file for .prg files
Here is my second issue. Now that I have found my improved foxpro.vim file I can't seem to get vim to open the correct syntax file! It seems to be opening the one that came with vim, but I cannot figure out where it is getting it from! I put my foxpro.vim in vimfiles\syntax and, when that did not work, relpaced the foxpro.vim in vim70\syntax with mine. Nothing seems to fix it BUT if, after opening my .prg file, I go to Syntax->Show filetypes in Menu, then I select foxpro it DOES get my foxpro.vim!!! Here is my vim\myfiletypes.vim " myfiletypes.vim augroup filetype " FoxPro au! BufRead,BufNewFile *.prg,*.mpr,*.sprset filetype=foxpro " Cold Fusion au BufNewFile,BufRead *.cfm,*.cfi,*.cfc setf cf au! BufRead,BufNewFile *.cfml,*.cfm set filetype=cf augroup END What am I doing wrong? --- Donal, SysAdmin of the Brewers' Witch BBS http://www.brewich.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:422928 CMA: 20639 WitchVox: 1494 Soc.Religion.Paganism (Modkinus Primus, Ret.) news:soc.religion.paganism Moderator: Houston Pagans Online http://groups.yahoo.com/houstonpagansonline Council of the Magickal Arts (Brewers Society Coord, Pooh-burbanite) http://www.magickal-arts.org Pagans' Night Out (Founder) http://www.paganhouston.com/pno Everquest II: Florence Sopher (Templar & Sage) Co-Guild Leader of Helanic Frost; Lucan D'Lere server http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu My BOINC Credits: 2579.85 Avg: 29.44 ET's found: 0
How to auto-set font and size?
Now that my primary issue of getting Windows Explorer to use gvim to open .prg files has been fixed, I have 2 further issues. I will seperate them so they do not get confused... My eyes are not what they once were, and I use a high-res monitor. I don't want to decrease my screen res as I am used to all the real estate I need to keep multiple things going at once :) but I need to increase the default font size for my program files in gvim. I need a line for _vimrc, I suppose, that will set the default font to Lucida Console and 14pt. advTHANKSance --- Donal, SysAdmin of the Brewers' Witch BBS http://www.brewich.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:422928 CMA: 20639 WitchVox: 1494 Soc.Religion.Paganism (Modkinus Primus, Ret.) news:soc.religion.paganism Moderator: Houston Pagans Online http://groups.yahoo.com/houstonpagansonline Council of the Magickal Arts (Brewers Society Coord, Pooh-burbanite) http://www.magickal-arts.org Pagans' Night Out (Founder) http://www.paganhouston.com/pno Everquest II: Florence Sopher (Templar & Sage) Co-Guild Leader of Helanic Frost; Lucan D'Lere server http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu My BOINC Credits: 2579.85 Avg: 29.44 ET's found: 0
Syntax file foxpro.vim - orphaned?
I finally located a copy of the corrected foxpro.vim file I made a
few years ago! :)
Who should I send it to? The maintaner, Powing Tse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
never answered the last email I sent him, so I suspect the file is
orphaned or he has changed email addresses and never updated the file.
I don't know if this list allows attachments but I have attached it
to this email.

gVim no longer added to Open With...
Why is gVim not being added during installation to the list of programs a file may be associated with? Additionally, if I use Browse to select gVim MS seems to ignore the selection and opens .prg files using Visual Foxpro instead of gvim.exe. I cannot seem to get WinXP to accept the change! --- Donal, SysAdmin of the Brewers' Witch BBS http://www.brewich.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:422928 CMA: 20639 WitchVox: 1494 Soc.Religion.Paganism (Modkinus Primus, Ret.) news:soc.religion.paganism Moderator: Houston Pagans Online http://groups.yahoo.com/houstonpagansonline Council of the Magickal Arts (Brewers Society Coord, Pooh-burbanite) http://www.magickal-arts.org Pagans' Night Out (Founder) http://www.paganhouston.com/pno Everquest II: Florence Sopher (Templar & Sage) Co-Guild Leader of Helanic Frost; Lucan D'Lere server http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu My BOINC Credits: 2579.85 Avg: 29.44 ET's found: 0
Open With does not list Vim
I had this same problem after installing Vim 6.4 and I finally found a way to fix it, but now that 7.0 has done it again, I cannot remember how I did it... Prior to Vim 6.4 Vim was always listed in the Open With... dialog so that I could change file associations. I don't know if this is standard MS shenanigans, but I no longer can change it. I am a Foxpro 2.6 for UNIX programmer and prefer to use Vim for my editing (who doesn't?). When I go to Tools->Folder Options->File Types, locate .PRG and try to change the preferred program to auto-open this type of file VIM is not listed and if I go to Change->Open With->Browse and select vim\vim70\gvim.exe it STILL does not show up. WinXP INSISTS on opening .PRG files with Foxpro 8. I CANNOT CHANGE IT! While I am on the subject and have your ears... I had a HIGHLY modified foxpro.syn prior to vim 6.4 but 6.4's installer REMOVED it and I have been unable to find any backups of it... I had Foxpro Codebook highlighting for variable names (i.e. gcMyVarName, lnLocalNumeric, etc), CORRECT highlighting for comments (the default foxpro.syn ONLY highlights a comment correctly if the FIRST character on the line is * and fails if it is indented or && is used to append a comment to the end of a line), complete function highlighting for ALL Foxpro 2.6 functions, and considerably improved colors for all highlighting. I had sent my updated files to the file maintainer for foxpro.syn but never heard from him. I did all this years ago and it took months of trial and error for me to work out the regexp modifications. If ANYONE out there that is better at regexp than I am (that would not be hard to find) cares to help me re-create my improved foxpro.syn I would be eternally grateful. Of course I would re-submit it to vim.org for inclusion in future releases. I thank you all in advance for any assistance you can give me. --- Donal, SysAdmin of the Brewers' Witch BBS http://www.brewich.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:422928 CMA: 20639 WitchVox: 1494 Soc.Religion.Paganism (Modkinus Primus, Ret.) news:soc.religion.paganism Moderator: Houston Pagans Online http://groups.yahoo.com/houstonpagansonline Council of the Magickal Arts (Brewers Society Coord, Pooh-burbanite) http://www.magickal-arts.org Pagans' Night Out (Founder) http://www.paganhouston.com/pno Everquest II: Florence Sopher (Templar & Sage) Co-Guild Leader of Helanic Frost; Lucan D'Lere server http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu My BOINC Credits: 2579.85 Avg: 29.44 ET's found: 0
