Just as an aside, this is about the worst quote you could pull, as Vim *doesn't* support open mode. ;-) :help :open """ Vim does not support open mode, since it's not really useful. For those situations where ":open" would start open mode Vim will leave Ex mode, which allows executing the same commands, but updates the whole screen instead of only one line. """ The only time I've needed/wanted open mode was when running it in an obscure Dos environment with a virtual keyboard that obscured most of the screen, and Vim's terminal handling expected too much of the underlying ANSI drivers. -tkc -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
