Re: Creating a custom browser window.
No idea what a Blogger entails, but since you mention perl, vim and the net, take a look at: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1053 Thank you. I'll see what I can glean from it. FYI, I hate blogger.com's interface so I'm writing my own in vim. That's what I mean by blogger. -- Alan

You can use the tree control plugin to implement the above. The tree control plugin provides a generic tree control interface to other Vim plugins. The documentation for this plugin is available at the following page: http://www.geocities.com/yegappan/treectrl/treectrl.html You can download the plugin from: http://www.geocities.com/yegappan/treectrl/treectrl.zip Let me know, if you have any comments or suggestions. - Yegappan

Did you restart Vim after you put it in ~/.vim/plugin (for Unix) or ~/vimfiles/plugin (for Windows)? If you didn't, you should have. The file containing the function treectl#available() should be named [directory]/autoload/treectl.vim where [directory] is ~/.vim or ~/vimfiles, as above. Best regards, Tony.

You should place the treectrl.vim file in the ~/.vim/autoload directory. The filetree.vim plugin should be placed in the ~/.vim/plugin directory. - Yegappan

The patch 135 fixes a problem in Vim7 relating to garbage collecting recursive List and Dict data structures. - Yegappan
