Thanks, Bee. I'm encouraged by your response. I'm curious: Are you able to see what's on the iOS device from iTunes? Comments by the developers of Vim for the iPad suggest it should be possible, but I'm not finding a way. You speak about iPhone editors. What can be done with them? Navigate to files on the device? Move files in and out? Shouldn't these work on the iPad, too? Might there be enhanced versions of them around somewhere? I'm lead to believe---don't ask me by what---that all the files needed by Vim and all documents created with it are contained in a single app folder on the iPad. If so, is it possible to put folders in there? And if folders, plugins?
