When I try :set directory+=$VAR, I see the following behavior: 1. When $VAR exists, its value is inserted at the end after a new comma. 2. When $VAR doesn't exist, a literal ",$VAR" is inserted at the end. 3. When $VAR exists but is empty, same as (2). So I think the :set directory+= commands the user claims to have run, actually did not run, OR their 'directory' option is getting overwritten after they set it. Additionally, the user tried "set directory verbose" to see the value of directory and where it was set from, however what they meant was "verbose set directory". "set directory verbose" tells you the value of directory and the 'verbose' option but not where either was set from. -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
