1) Get up-to-date versions of vimball and netrw:

   vimball:
         http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=1502
  -or-   http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#VimBall
  (the mysite.verizon.net one will be the more recent version)

   netrw:
         http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=1075
  -or-   http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#NETRW

2) Remove the old vimball plugin and install the new one:

    Linux:
        cd /usr/local/share/vim/vim70
        /bin/rm plugin/vimball*.vim autoload/vimball*.vim doc/pi_vimball.txt
        mv (wherever it was downloaded)/vimball.tar.gz .
        gunzip vimball.tar.gz
        tar -xvf vimball.tar

    Windows:
        Under Windows, check your runtimepath to determine where your
vim 7.0's runtime directories are:

        vim
        :echo &rtp
        :q

        The first directory is likely your personal plugins directory,
the second one is your vim system directory.

        cd (to your vim system directory)
        del plugin\vimballPlugin.vim
        del autoload\vimball.vim
        del doc\pi_vimball.txt
        ren (wherever)\vimball.tar.gz vimball.tar.gz
        gunzip vimball.tar.gz
        tar -xvf vimball.tar

3) Remove system version of netrw:

    Linux:
        cd /usr/local/share/vim/vim70
        /bin/rm plugin/netrw*.vim autoload/netrw*.vim doc/pi_netrw.txt
syntax/netrw*.vim

    Windows:
        cd (to your vim system directory)
        del plugin\netrwPlugin.vim
        del autoload\netrw.vim
        del doc\pi_netrw.txt
        del syntax\netrw.vim

4) Install an up-to-date version of netrw:
   vim netrw.vba.gz
   :so %
   :q

Dr. Chip,

Using your directions above, I continually get problems on step 4.
when I so ":so %" I'm constantly returned "UseVimball" is not a vim
command, or something similar.  What might I be doing wrong?
