Thanks to both Ben and 'ap' for the prompt replies.
Ben says "For every tab, Vim adds a new tab". It seems counter-
intuitive to me considering that my command is *bufdo* tabnew (i.e.,
for each *buffer* create a new tab).
Just seeking to understand here: Do tabs transcend buffers or vice-
versa (i.e., can I have a set of buffers in a tab that the buffer
lists in other tabs do not know? Or can a tab be agnostic of buffers
loaded by vim?).
I also had some "philosophical" questions in my post whose MID I
referred above (as in "Why tabs?").
Would appreciate any insights.
Thanks to both of you again. I verified that :tab sball works just as
I intended bufdo tabnew to work.
sincerely,
- Anand
