*if this came through twice I apologize, got an error message the first time.*
Hi, I am a new user of VIM -- have it installed now on my Mac, PC, and Linux box (Ubuntu). On the linux system am having some trouble and wondered if you might be able to help: If I want to open a file with VIM, I typically right-click on the document (say: index.html), and select GVIM Editor -- this opens the document. However, if I am browsing my documents on a remote server (through an SFTP connection or plain FTP), this no longer works. If I right-click, select open with GVIM, I get a blank document. If I select "gedit" from the right-click menu the document opens without a problem (so it is not my connection). Only GVIM won't open it. Of course: I can select the document, copy it to my desktop, then open it that way, but I would really like to save that step -- since I am often editing things from my other linux server where my files are stored. Thanks in advance; looking forward to learning more.
