I also tried redraw between the :b and the :echomsg. I don't have an answer for you but I can commiserate :-) I was working on the same kind of problem using a temp buffer (bt=nofile) for a work area. The script worked fine except that the output was getting overwritten as if Vim had issued ":file" at the end. A work around was to echo an extra blank line and let Vim overwrite it. I tried all the things you mentioned - I was quite surprised that :redraw didn't solve it. I finally changed my method slightly by switching windows instead of switching buffers directly. The echo problem went away. I will be following this thread for solutions. -- Best regards, Bill
