Your email in the other thread is telling: you don't have a build that is talking to the system clipboard, so it's erroring out when you try to hit the "+". It's clearly not treating the double-quote as a comment, as it works in your "b" case. Make sure you're invoking the version of Vim you think you are (I usually invoke as "vi" and sometimes that gets linked to a vim-tiny instead of a vim-full), and you can have multiple builds installed. So you might have "vi" point to a vim-tiny build, "vim" point to a vim-full build, and "gvim" symlinked to the vim-full build (which will respond accordingly). -tim -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
