That certainly isn't clear from that paragaph - which, of
course, I read before posting. The 7.1 doc clearly states
that you can use other numbers. The example given is vim54.
I had tried several directory names under \vim and vim75
worked, so I thought, with the first FP patch. I must have
been mistaken.

I just replace gvim - Bram's test patches are usually more
solid than Microsoft's final releases :-) Each time I build
a new version of the release, I copy it to \vim\vim71 as
gvim.exe and as, say, gvim-7.1.293 so I always have a
fallback.
Thanks for your comments, Tony.
