Gary, the reason I use and suggested
--cmd "se rtp=$VIMRUNTIME"
is to prevent customizations such as adding all of your
colorschemes, compilers, etc. in the Gvim menus, custom
icons, etc. --cmd happens before menu.vim is sourced.
The reason I use:
"+se rtp&"
is to have 'rtp' set as by default but without the side
effects mentioned above.
:h startup
For "fun" start with the above but without the --cmd above
but add -V99nocmd. Then include the --cmd above and with
-V99wcmd. Finally do a vimdiff on nocmd and wcmd.
