I searched through the help files before. Ad a newbie to vim it is not simple for me sometimes to find out for what to search... And a simple "grep" ist not /that/ helpful.... Unfortunately bd! has a sideeffekt: After :e file1 and :e file2 I edit file2 and (accidently) file1. With <C-^> I go back to file1 and bd! . The window (or is it a buffer?) disappear. Now I did some <C-^> and: TADA! Here it is again and perfectly loaded: file1 Ooops...I told vim to forget that file... Any way arround this ? Keep hacking! mcc
