Some of the code you would have to change is in the files window.c and screen.c . There are a lot of global structures that are used across multiple files. There is a lot of code that is compiled conditionally and adding GUI windows would add many more such pieces of code unless the Vim code is rewritten using a more object-oriented approach. So I think that it would be a huge undertaking just to change the current windows to GUI windows. Marko -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
