OK, to take this one step further, I know that I will include
everything in the myConfig/scripts directory recursively. I'm trying
to work with glob() to include all of these files, that way I won't
have ten or more "exec so ..." lines. How can I fetch the contents of
a directory from within vim (not using `ls`, I'm on a Windows box) as
an array? I can do the rest.
Thanks,
Thomas
