You *can* specify more than one file at a time in a single 'vim' instance, and/or hit another file with 'argadd' and add a new file to the filelist. From there, you can keep just one window/instance and use ":n" to get to the next file, then next, next, next, etc., then ":rew" to rewind back to the first file, and so on. Think ":N" is to switch to the previous file. For sure, "^^" (ctl-^) toggles between the current file and the last one you were editing. Each time it switches to another file, it'll refresh. Me personally, I don't like window-splits, so I rarely if ever use that other'n diffing files, so if that's what you were looking for, someone else will have to fill you in on details. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
