Is that needed? If :p (on Windows) always produced the expanded long name, then :p:8 could be used if someone wanted the short full path. I can't see a reason someone would need an 8.3 name expanded to anything other than its full long path (with :p), or its full short path (with :p:8). At any rate, :f does not sound a good mnemonic for "short". John -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
