That makes perfect sense to me. Have you found it in the help? > I believe the (1 of 2) is talking about the argument list, so it's not > quite buffers or files. Yes, I noticed it when I discovered the "%a" expansion in the status line. I've found some ways of putting there the number of buffers, but I think it is overlay complex and doesn't worth the pain. > BTW after :bd there still are two buffers, but one of them is > unlisted. Enter :ls! to see that you still have two buffers. Use :bw > to really wipeout a buffer (but that makes Vim forget things like last > edited position and any marks). Oh, that I knew. In fact I was using ":bw!" when doing the experiment. What I was doing, BTW, is processing a huge number of text files. I loaded all of them in Vim and mapped "<delete>" to a combination that deleted the on-disk file and wiped out the buffer. That way I could read and delete the files without having to go back and forth between a terminal and Vim. I then noticed the problem with the title string.
