I scoured the :help files but couldn't find and explanation of the syntax. :p is short for :print and :h is help. So there's two things I don't know: 1. The symbolic (?) language you are using - the same that's used when scripting vim, I would imagine. 2. How to use vim's help efficiently :-) Thanks, Cga 2. How to use vim's help efficiently --> try :help topic. If that doesn't give you what you want try -> :helpgrep topic (followed by :cwin if needed). Try :helpgrep %:p:h you will find the meaning of %:p:h Regards, Sibin DISCLAIMER: This message (including attachment if any) is confidential and may be privileged.
