That's why everyone else in the thread has been suggesting using :args instead of :argadd ;-) Of course, :args is worse if you're the sort of person who actually uses the argument list, but the only people I know who actually use the arg list are old vi hands who still need to use "real" vi sometimes. For many of us who learned vim instead, the arg list is only ever used for one-off "hacks" like this. ~Matt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
