When I installed MacVim it set up the ~/.vim folder for me. And I have a .vimrc in my home folder, a pretty simple one at this point. >> 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.

I went ahead and installed VO before I got this response. To install pathogen "before anything else" should I uninstall VO and then reinstall it after I've installed pathogen? If so, can I do that by just deleting ~/.vim? Are there any files anywhere else that should be deleted? And as I understand you, once pathogen is installed I execute ":UseVimBall ~/.vim/bundle/vimoutliner"in Vim? Finally, I tried to read the VO readme the tags weren't working for me. Then scrolling through it I discovered that for tags in VO files to work I have run a script, vo-maketags.pl. How do I run a script.
