I'm glad that you verify my suspicions, unfortunately without making a backup, I did the following. 1)Opened the session file in vim 2)deleted all but the badd lines and used gf to reload the files (30-40 in that project). 3)Then I found I could load html files with proper syntax highlighting. > I suggest that rather than use :mksession, you construct (at least one > time) a "custom session file" by writing into a new script (which can be > named, for instance, ~/Session.vim if you don't need to keep another > default session) all the ex-commands which you would use at the > command-line to reload your current files in a new Vim just after it > starts up.

Start Vim as "vim -S" or "gvim > -S" to source this handmade script (which will probably be much shorter > and much easier to understand than a session file made by :mksession) -- > if you wrote it the right way, then your files will be loaded correctly, > with syntax highlighting and all. I already do part of what you suggest - that is - I give the session file a name appropriate to my project which gives leverage to other tools that I use, and I have a simple shell script: .... gvim -geom -0+0 -S $1 ..... and launch from mc by placing the mc cursor on the session file, then <space> and <alt-enter> <enter> and the project is restarted. A better fix might have been to strip out all but badd <filepath>, global search and replace of 'badd' with 'e' and add the lcd command.
