Hi Howard
According to ":help version-7.3", the ":oldfiles" command was added
in this patch:
=======================================================
Patch 7.2.031
Problem: Information in the viminfo file about previously edited files is
not available to the user. There is no way to get a complete list
of files edited in previous Vim sessions.
Solution: Add v:oldfiles and fill it with the list of old file names when
first reading the viminfo file. Add the ":oldfiles" command,
":browse oldfiles" and the "#<123" special file name. Increase
the default value for 'viminfo' from '20 to '100.
=======================================================
So what you observe is expected.
Your Vim-7.0.237 version is very old (05/01/2007).
Why not recompile the latest from sources
checked-out with Mercurial?
