I confirm that it fails if 'modifiable' is off, as in a helpfile. For a plain 'readonly' (but 'modifiable') file there is no problem, and the buffer is not marked as modified.

Thanks again for the correction, Tony. Not my week evidently! Ben. If ever I make similar errors (as I sometimes do, especially when lacking sleep), I hope you will notice them and post a correction. :-) Each of us alone can do nothing. Together, no task can resist us. Best regards, Tony. -- THE LESSER-KNOWN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES #18a: FIFTH FIFTH is a precision mathematical language in which the data types refer to quantity. The data types range from CC, OUNCE, SHOT, and JIGGER to FIFTH (hence the name of the language), LITER, MAGNUM and BLOTTO. Commands refer to ingredients such as CHABLIS, CHARDONNAY, CABERNET, GIN, VERMOUTH, VODKA, SCOTCH, and WHATEVERSAROUND. The many versions of the FIFTH language reflect the sophistication and financial status of its users. Commands in the ELITE dialect include VSOP and LAFITE, while commands in the GUTTER dialect include HOOTCH and RIPPLE. The latter is a favorite of frustrated FORTH programmers who end up using this language. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message from the vim_dev maillist.
