I suspect that you need a recent version of netrw. To get an up-to-date version of netrw, you'll also need to get an up-to-date version of vimball. So: 1) Get up-to-date versions of vimball and netrw: vimball: http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=1502 -or- http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#VimBall (the mysite.verizon.net one will be the more recent version) netrw: http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=1075 -or- http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#NETRW 2) Remove the old vimball plugin and install the new one: Linux: cd /usr/local/share/vim/vim70 /bin/rm plugin/vimball*.vim autoload/vimball*.vim doc/pi_vimball.txt mv (wherever it was downloaded)/vimball.tar.gz . gunzip vimball.tar.gz tar -xvf vimball.tar Windows: Under Windows, check your runtimepath to determine where your vim 7.0's runtime directories are: vim :echo rtp :q The first directory is likely your personal plugins directory, the second one is your vim system directory. cd (to your vim system directory) del plugin\vimballPlugin.vim del autoload\vimball.vim del doc\pi_vimball.txt ren (wherever)\vimball.tar.gz vimball.tar.gz gunzip vimball.tar.gz tar -xvf vimball.tar 3) Remove system version of netrw: Linux: cd /usr/local/share/vim/vim70 /bin/rm plugin/netrw*.vim autoload/netrw*.vim doc/pi_netrw.txt syntax/netrw*.vim Windows: cd (to your vim system directory) del plugin\netrwPlugin.vim del autoload\netrw.vim del doc\pi_netrw.txt del syntax\netrw.vim 4) Install an up-to-date version of netrw: vim netrw.vba.gz :so % :q Regards, Chip Campbell

Hi, After sending my response, I received the following alien language (probably German from the .de) email. I copied no recipient at @youngs.de. Perhaps a member of this list is sending away from office responses to the list? From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Die von Ihnen genutzte eMail-Adresse ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) existiert nicht oder existiert nicht mehr. For what it's worth, the text above says The email address you used ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) doesn't exist or doesn't exist anymore. Bye, Nico

Bill, thanks! On Sat, 27 Jan 2007 01:35:12 -0600, Bill McCarthy [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html That site contains an older version. I've copied Chip on this note. Hopefully he will update his site (unless other problems were discovered with that fix). It appears that this plugin comes pre-installed. Maybe this should be made into a patch for extra? Bram? -denis -- // mailto: Denis Perelyubskiy lists at overwhelmTAKECAPITALSOUT dot net // icq : 12359698

I reported this problem to Chip on 1/9. He responded with a fixed version (108c) on 1/10. It works fine here. Do you have an older version? You will need to go to Dr Chip's Vim Page for the current one: http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html -- Best regards, Bill
