Well, I don't use it, I find NERDTree much nicer, but that's certainly not the point. Isn't it a good thing for a feature to be written in a way that allows it to work all the time, in all cases? I'm just suggesting that rather than patching over this problem by asking the user to choose a separator byte that isn't likely to cause problems, that this be fixed to not rely on any magical byte sequences. This is especially important for a plugin that's packaged with vim, which ought to represent the best use that can be made of the scripting language. ~Matt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
