You could also readjust the height of the command-line dynamically: let msg = str let len = strlen(substitute(msg, ., x, g)) let t_ch = cmdheight let cmdheight = len / (columns - 15) + 1 echo msg let cmdheight = t_ch See :help 'cmdheight' :help strlen().

Doesn't cause Hit Enter prompt for me. In any case, try to add silent to your nmap: nmap silentC-s :call Toggle_spell()CR Yakov

Any other ideas? Thanks. I think that your 'cmdheight' is 1 and 'showcmd' or 'ruler' is on and perhaps 'laststatus' is 0 or 1. How about this let ru_save = ruler let sc_save = showcmd set noruler noshowcmd echo ]s to skip to word, zg to add word, z= to suggest word let showcmd = sc_save let ruler = ru_save But the message may be truncated when there is no space for showcmd and ruler. It seems that showcmd and ruler require some spaces on the right side of cmdline area. -- Yukihiro Nakadaira [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I still can't figure out why echo would behave differently depending on whether it's called interactively or as part of a function, but by adding the three ruler lines you suggested above I was able to make it work correctly.

echo question
I have a simple question that I can't seem to figure out. When I use the echo command to echo a statement on my open window, it simply displays that message in the status bar. However, if I use echo in a function, it adds Please ENTER or type command to continue after it. How do I make it not do that? Eg, I just want it to display the message, not prompt me to press a key. Thanks. -- Jared
