Thanks for the reply Tony! I'm not sure what you are suggesting. I read the man page for backupcopy, and tried "yes", "no" and "auto" as arguments. Each time the file icon moved. From the man page text, I'm assuming that since a new file is being created, it will ALWAYS be moved? If so, that's too annoying for me, and I'll go back to "set nobackup", and take my chances with .swp file restoration when needed.
