There is no change in results for single or double quotes, single or double backslashes. ":echo g:CREAM_CWD" always reports a single backslash even when two are used in the conf file. I duplicated all of this on a separate computer yesterday (WinXP Home). I've found something that does work: set CREAM_SWP as an environment variable and .swp files are placed in that folder. CREAM_CWD as an env var however has no observable effect. Under this new configuration AddOns>CreamConfigInfo and ":echo g:CREAM_SWP" continue to be at odds with each other. Config reports the value of the enviroment and :echo reports the value of cream-conf. The former is used and the latter is not. I'm happy to have found a solution to my original quest, but it is clear there is still something awry in there. I'm happy to continue to dig into this if you have other things you'd like me to try. cheers, matt wilkie -------------------------------------------- Geomatics Analyst Information Management and Technology Yukon Department of Environment 10 Burns Road * Whitehorse, Yukon * Y1A 4Y9 867-667-8133 Tel * 867-393-7003 Fax http://environmentyukon.gov.yk.ca/geomatics/ -------------------------------------------- Steve Hall wrote: > On Wed, 2009-10-14 at 11:46 -0700, Matt Wilkie wrote: >> It appears my exuberance is premature.
