Thank you Tim After doing some tests ":b!#" is the one I like. It is useful when editing source code, then adding a mapping or function to vimrc with a vim help file open. With the vimrc and help open I can toggle back and forth. When done ":bn" or ":bp" will take me thru my source files skipping the "unlisted"/help files. -Bill -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
