You don't need autochdir, and may not want it (e.g. because you don't want it changing after opening the first file, but only when opening the first file). Also, the Windows version automatically does that (changes for the first file, but doesn't set autochdir). :help vim-default-editor :help send-to-menu Ben. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
