When I tried to detach fileB.txt from the gvim window started by gvim -p fileA.txt fileB.txt there is a warning window saying Swap file ".fileB.txt.swp" already exists! the buttons below asks the user to choose one of "Open Read-Only", "Edit anyway", "Recover", "Quit", "Abort" Can you fix this? thanks raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi | http://raju.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Blog -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
