Sorry, John. Not quite true. Although I don't think Vim uses USERPROFILE, it *does* use the program files directory by default. If a _vimrc is not found in $HOME, Vim looks it the $VIM directory, which defaults to %ProgramFiles%\Vim (or whereever you install). But the OP seems to not realize that Vim builds $HOME, if it does not exist, as %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%. USERPROFILE is mentioned in the todo list as a good fallback for %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% but I don't think that's implemented yet. > > I also have these environment variables > > Vim=C:\Program Files\Vim > > VimRunTime=C:\Program Files\Vim\vim73 > > I do not know if $VIM works with an embedded space, but I don't > recall hearing about any problems with it. > Also, Vim will determine these variables by itself, you shouldn't need to set them at all. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
