I have such symlinks in place, too, for just that purpose and have never had a problem. Perhaps you used a Windows-style path name when you created the symlink from ~/.vim. That, "ls -d ~/.vim" should have shown something like this, /home/0126792/.vim -> /cygdrive/c/winnt/profiles/0126792/vimfiles and I'll be it looked like this instead, /home/0126792/.vim -> C:\winnt\profiles\0126792\vimfiles Regards, Gary -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
