Thanks a lot! Even if it was a 5-minute hack, it actually works very
nicely. And it's better than the Msplit command that Gary, as far as I
can see for not quite the reason you write, but because if I open a
file with 'vim something' then after :Msplit filename* _only_
filename* will be open and the originally opened 'something' will be
gone. But with your command this does not happen.
Thanks again,
Daniel
