You should first set your ~/.vimrc file and ~/.vim folder up before anything else. Here[1] is a vimrc example, read the comments on every line to see if you want them in your vimrc. > :e vimoutliner-0.3.5.vba? Yes. Other way is to drop the file into MacVim's icon. Or use the "File>Open..." menu from MacVim. > While I'm at it, I understand there's a package -- maybe it's a plugin itself > -- that is used to manage plugins, e.g., with everything pertaining to each > one being kept in it's own folder, making it easier to upgrade, etc. [As you > can tell, I'm a bit vague about this.] I think VO will be my first plugin -- > I don't know if MacVim comes with any already installed -- should I get set > up with that, whatever it is, before installing VO? The plugin is called pathogen[2] and you should install it before anything else, it's really helpful. The instructions are inside the script. In order to use VO with pathogen you need to install it with other command. Open the VO archive and use the following command: :UseVimBall ~/.vim/bundle/vimoutliner That should install VO on its own directory under the control of pathogen.
