My ~/.vimrc file contains these lines: source $VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/man.vim source $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/syntax.vim
but recently one of the Debian upgrades must have changed $VIMRUNTIME; it now points to /usr/share/vim, whereas what I want it to point to is something like /usr/share/vim/vimcurrent (=/usr/share/vim/vim64). This suggests to me that $VIMRUNTIME isn't the variable I want to be using there; what variable reliably points to the proper directory? Likewise, recent Debian changes seem to have hosed :help; if I try to do :help, I get 'Sorry, help file "/usr/share/vim/doc/help.txt" not found' 'help.txt', as it turns out, is in /usr/share/vim/vim64/doc/help.txt . So again, it looks like some internal environment variable got screwed up; which variable points to the proper base directory for vim's documentation? I'm looking for something other than Debian-specific answers, because I carry my .vimrc file around to lots of different Unices and I'd like it to work on all of them. I hope there's a good platform-independent set of variables for me to use. Thanks very much, Steve -- Stephen R.
