This mailing list is intended for discussion of the Vim Tips wiki, not for Vim itself. I have recently updated http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Vim_Tips_Wiki:Community_Portal to make that clearer, with a link to the Vim mailing list which discusses Vim. However, it sounds like you're wondering what Vim can do. I'm a bit puzzled by your description, but that's exactly what you can achieve with Notepad: notepad file.txt notepad file2.txt will open two windows, one on top of the other. Most other programs use a startup option that tells Windows to decide the initial position of the window, so if you did the above with Vim, you would see the two windows in slightly different positions (which most people would like). Perhaps you're referring to opening files in tabs in the one instance of Vim. If so, that is possible using: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/VimTip1440 John _______________________________________________ Vim-l mailing list Vim-l@wikia.com http://lists.wikia.com/mailman/listinfo/vim-l
