OK, have done. I know I reported this years ago, several times I think, to the maintainer at the time, but I can't remember who that was, so I'll try again as it may have changed. If they are not responsive though, there needs to be some way to get changes through. > Setting 'foldmethod' should be done in the ftplugin, not in the > syntax file.

You're right, just wondering what the logic is behind truncating from the start rather than the end. I'd understand if it was to get rid of the leading path first, but that is already handled specifically by some clever code, so it only seems to be the tail that we're talking about. > > - Dragging tabs to rearrange their order would be nice. > > I don't think GUI implementations support this.

Yep, understood.

Are they found a different way from the other runtime files? I used the gvim installation program for Windows. So I should be seeing 'omnifunc' automatically set to something in a *.cpp file, is that right? > > - Can omni-completion also be used when jumping to tags?

So that all strings of space equate to the same thing, eg "Hi there" == " Hi there". On second thoughts, maybe not all that important. It's a common option for diff programs, but probably not so relevant for sorting. > > > Will inserting "redraw" command before echo help ? Like this: > > > > > > func!

You mean like mine did? :-) Thanks, Rob. -- Robert Webb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Want to make polyhedra? http://www.software3d.com/Stella.html
