Thanks Tony! I wish somebody had told me about :h runtimepath twenty years ago. It sure would have helped in my development and tech support for VimOutliner.

See following command line session: ================================================== [slitt@mydesk .vim]$ echo $VIMRUNTIME [slitt@mydesk .vim]$ echo $VIM [slitt@mydesk .vim]$ ================================================== I'll be studying :h runtimepath to make me more proficient with Vim. Thanks for showing it to me.
