OK, thanks for that. I don't think I'd want to re-use directory listings, since I'm usually changing stuff in it. Also, these network drives are mapped to letter-drives -- I'm not sure if such directories under those letter drives are considered "remote". Besides, clearing out network drives from the rtp seems to have solved the problem. >> With regards to upgrading plugins, I've been down this path a >> number of times in the past, and invariably, the new netrw requires >> a more recent version of vim. > > The latest netrw needs vim 7.3.465 (ie. 7.4 is fine). Yes...sigh...I can do it at home, but not elsewhere. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
