ack.vim problem
I downloaded and installed ack.vim and consistently get messages like the following from MacVim. For example, when trying to use it to find occurrences of the word 'Mail' in the current directory by typing ':Ack mail': E492: Not an editor command: Ack mail I also had to install MacPorts' p5-app-ack and this seems to work as expected in a terminal. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Barrie. -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.

I installed the code in ~/.vim/plugin and documentation in ~/.vim/doc. It came as a .tar.gz file so all I had to do was move it to ~/.vim and use 'tar zxvf ack.tar.gz from that directory.

If you type ':scriptnames' do you see ack.vim in the list? Yours, Andy -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.

No! But I did see, among others, everything in ~/.vim/plugin except ack.vim. I started a new occurrence of MacVim and things started to do more sensible things. I'm extremely grateful since now I can see how well I like it. I'd never come across :scriptnames before but I'll make a note of it for the future. Thanks agin for your help. No reply needed.
