Probably because it's vi compatible (at least for :e, I don't think original vi supports :bad) and is has been defined to work that way by POSIX (see the specification at http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/ex.html) :badd probably behaves like that for consistency reasons (as does :tabedit for example). But that is not really a problem, is it? You could always define your custom :edit command, eg: com! -nargs=+ -complete=file Edit :arg <args> regards, Christian -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
