"classical" way for a script to determine whether it is being sourced by gvim or by Console Vim is to check has("gui_running").
Yay! Thanks for that Tony.

If Mac is sufficiently similar to Linux (both are Unix-like OSes after all) non-login shells may get it from shell-specific files like ~/.bashrc, ~/.cshrc, etc. (For details,see the manpage for your shell.) (Note: Files whose names start with a dot are normally not listed in directory listings. Use "ls -a" (possibly with other options) to make them appear.)
I thought the same thing. But it does not appear to source my .bash_profile or .bashrc. Anyone out there got some clues...? Thanks Brett
