Testing at home (no Visual Studio!) shows that the :!start idea will work fine. I wrote a batch file which contains: "c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" "c:\Program Files\vim\vim72\gvim.exe" --remote-send ":cfile test.cfile<CR>" Then from inside vim I run: ":!start <batchfile>". As soon as I quit Firefox, my testfile is opened as the error file in Vim. Of course the downside of this is that if the remote-send executes while I am in the middle of editing a file, it just enters that text into the file. It should be easy enough to figure out a nice solution for that though.... Max -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. For more information, visit http://www.vim.org/maillist.php
