It looks like you might be trying to set the current working directory to C:\vim-text, since you tried resolving the error by setting the 'cdpath' option after trying to set the 'cd' option. First of all, the 'cd' option is an alias for 'cdpath', so trying to set 'cdpath' prior to setting 'cd' will do nothing at all. Secondly, changing directories in Vim is not done by setting an option at all. I think you want: :cd C:\vim-text or :lcd C:\vim-text -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
