Thanks Christian -- that works quite nicely! I just added 'silent': com! -complete=help -nargs=1 H :silent !screen -t 'Vim-help' vim -c 'help <args>' -c 'only' Solves my immediate concern and teaches me a few more things about ':command' & friends that'll be helpful for other mappings. Also, Marc, thanks for the suggestions. I can see tabs being a more portable solution (eg when stuck on an mswin box), may look into that at some point. For now toggling between Screen tty's is comfortable. Regards, John -- John Magolske http://B79.net/contact -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
