There is no common string between usa1.txt and test/usa2.txt. The very first character differs in both. I'm not actually able to tell at a glance from the help what IS supposed to happen, but I'm fairly certain it should not put in "usa" because that is not a common prefix for both buffer names. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
