Those installation instructions are wrong. *Don't* put anything into global $VIMRUNTIME. Do as follows. Create directory $HOME/.vim/plugin (or $HOME/.vim/syntax $HOME/.vim/colors etc) and put new script under $HOME/.vim/something. The "runtime" command will pick it from there just as well as if it were under global vimruntime. If you look attentively at the default value of 'set runtimepath?', you'll see that it already contains $HOME/.vim. > " let $VIMRUNTIME = <new path>; " Don't do it. Just do what I described above, it's enough. Yakov
