Most of the files I edit are *.tex files so that is not much of a 
distinguishing mark.

I seldom use visual mode. 

It may happen in insert mode when I hit the F4 key. But from the 
nature of the latest such message it occurs when I hit the "save" 
entry on a menu. Or perhaps when I exit Gvim by deleting its window.

Unfortunately I don't discover it until I try to compile a *tex file 
using e.g., texexec or pdftex.

I will try to retreive those autocommands in some future run.

Like English, it was the first language I learned. So despite the 
imperfections in both cases they are the natural language and 
computer language respectively I am most conversant with. 

Vi/Vim is not the first editor I ever used but it was early in my 
computer wanderings.
