Yes, I remember, but I indicated that cannot be used. The problem with both --remote-expr and --remote-send is if that Vim instance is not already running, you get an error: $ gvim.exe --servername DIFF --remote-send "echo 1" This one tells me the vim instance DIFF isn't running (which it isn't). $ gvim.exe --servername DIFF --remote-expr "echo 1" Same with this one. That means someone must manually start up the Vim instance ahead of time. If you do the following: gvim.exe --servername DIFF gvim.exe --servername DIFF You get two instances of Vim running with server names of: DIFF DIFF1 So in the 2nd case, my plugin notices we are not in the correct instance and sends the files over to the first instance. That is why I cannot allow the DIFF1 instance to open the files, since they will be edited in the DIFF instance. But yet I want the argument list that DIFF1 was started with, so I know which files to send over to the DIFF instance. David -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
