Dam - it was an important Fix I was waiting for. For those who don't know: VMS
has the search mechanism used for ${PATH}, ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} or ${INCLUDE}
build into to core of the operating system. So in VMS you can say:
gvim INCLUDE:stdio.h
which would be the equivalent (in unix speak) of:
gvim ${INCLUDE}/stdio.h
Of corse in Unix that won't work because the shell would expand ${INCLUDE} and
sends a rather wacky commandline to gvim. Yet another point to the critics of
shell expansion I guess.
On VMS it is fopen() which expand the variable and it works - gvim will open
the file ok - only when you save it all goes wrong as gvim will then save to
the first path mentioned in INCLUDE.
