I have two files which I'd like to compare via diffsplit in an

I can properly open the diff in a separate instance via 'vimdiff',
as well as ':diffsplit' - is there something wrong with my
existing session?
thanks!

II. To diff two files already being edited:
1. make one file current
2. :diffthis
3. make the other file current
4. :diffthis
5. (Optional) Rearrange the windows (using ^W commands) to place
them side-by-side.
Great. this solved the error that I was getting...
thanks!
