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

(the mysite.verizon.net one will be the more recent version)
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?
andy
It means step 2 wasn't done properly. You should find the unpacked vimball
files in the plugin/ and autoload/ subfolders of some folder mentioned in
'runtimepath'.
Best regards,
Tony.

... So the documentary-makers stick with sharks. Generally, their
procedure is to scatter bleeding fish pieces around their boat, so as
to infest the waters. I would estimate that the primary food source of
sharks today is bleeding fish pieces scattered by people making
documentaries. Once the sharks arrive, they are generally fairly
listless. The general shark attitude seems to be: "Oh God, another
documentary." So the divers have to somehow goad them into attacking,
under the guise of Scientific Research. "We know very little about the
effect of electricity on sharks," the narrator will say, in a deeply
scientific voice. "That is why Todd is going to jab this Great White
in the testicles with a cattle prod." The divers keep this kind of
thing up until the shark finally gets irritated and snaps at them, and
then they act as though this was a totally unexpected and very
dangerous development, although clearly it is what they wanted all
along.
