Its probably the easiest. i am officially flummoxed when i look at :set rtp? i see: runtimepath=~/.vim,/usr/local/share/vim/vimfiles,/usr/local/share/vim/vim71,/usr/local/share/vim/vimfiles/after,~/.vim/after yet before i wrote and ran my netrw whacker it was loading v110 -- obviously, ~/.vim is the first thing in 'rtp', so i too think it should have been grabbing v112b from there it's as if something were steering it to /usr/local/share -- sc --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
