I know the listing style (:help g:netrw_liststyle) can affect browsing speed. Besides that, unless you are unable to write changes to your user HOME directory, you are certainly NOT limited to upgrading netrw. Are you able to write your own Vim config files? If so, you can install Vim plugins, meaning you are perfectly able to upgrade netrw. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
