Thanks, Tony. I'm not a programmer and am novice enough about Vim that I wouldn't be able to follow your suggestion for getting the output of wc.vim into the status line. Curious why you would put the wc.vim code in your script. Again, in my naiveté, I imagine that would be redundant. If they do do the same thing, your's is so much simpler.
