Not only is this possible, it is how Vim7 adds additional spellcheck
dictionaries if you do :set spelllang=en,[new lang].
Check this out:
function! Color_NavajoNight()
" Change the current color scheme to Zenburn.
enew
execute 'Nread http://cream.cvs.sourceforge.net/' .
\ '*checkout*/cream/cream/cream-colors-zenburn.vim'
execute "saveas " . tempname()
source %
endfunction
map <silent> <F12> :call Color_NavajoNight()<CR>
imap <silent> <F12> <C-o>:call Color_NavajoNight()<CR>
vmap <silent> <F12> :<C-u>call Color_NavajoNight()<CR>
Pressing <F12> will automatically change your color scheme to the
Zenburn color scheme stored in the Cream CVS repository.
Really, the only two tricks are using Netrw to read the file, and then
saving it with a name so that you can source it.
