Awesome, that worked like a charm. I have another problem however...

Is there any way to map the <F3> key to "Find Next" (i.e. find the next
occurrence of the string I just searched for) in gVim?

Goggling found that the <n> keystroke does this, but I am unclear on its
usage. For example, when in insert mode, and I do the following:

<C-O>:n<CR>

I get an error saying "E163: There is only one file to edit", rather than
the, "E486: Pattern not found: \V\C[MY SEARCH TEXT]" I would have expected
from the Find Next command.

Any ideas?

Alain

Amazing ... I vaguely knew this was possible, so had a look and
found the following:

  inoremap <C-F> <C-O>:promptfind<CR>
  inoremap <C-H> <C-O>:promptrepl<CR>

I used the following to find what the commands were:
  :menu Edit

I never use the menus, and would recommend the Vim method of
using the command line which has history and <C-R> to insert
registers and probably other good stuff.
