Or is it only in MacVim?
I just tried again and now it is not happening anymore (tried starting MacVim both from Finder and Terminal to see if that made any difference). When it did happen it was only in MacVim that the path got "duplicated" (not in Terminal). At any rate, I've never experienced any problems as a result of the path being set incorrectly...I was just testing to see if I could repro the OP's problems. Maybe we can all keep an eye out to see if there actually is a reproducible problem lurking here somewhere. Björn -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
