Interesting... the 7.0.99 version that I have doesn't have anything that
you are pointing to, and the example clearly used map <expr>. The
documentation was probably updated later on? What patch version do you
have? Or may be that I updated the vim binaries, not runtime, so I might
not be seeing the updates to documentation.

I periodically update my runtime files using

  cd ~/.build/vim/vim70
  rsync -avzcP --delete --exclude="/dos/" ftp.nluug.nl::Vim/runtime/ ./runtime/

Thanks for showing us the 'nix approach.  Here's the "dos"
approach:

  copy /us "ftp://ftp.home.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/dos/*"; c:\vim\vim70\


Thanks for showing us the dos command-line approach (I didn't know "copy" could fetch files over the Internet). When in Windows, I would normally use a graphical FTP client such as FileZilla, set my preferences to "Overwrite if newer" or whatever it's called, and drag the files/folders from one pane to the other after highlighting them all. But it is also possible (in both Linux and Windows) to use the command-line "ftp" utility (with mget so wildcards can be used). The advantage of rsync or of other clients who can make timestamp comparison, is that unchanged files are not re-downloaded.


Best regards,
Tony.
