The FreeBSD ports build method for Vim is simply to download the patches, apply them, and do a standard build. To my knowledge, nothing is removed. One possibility I can think of: did you build a "LITE" version? (Using `make -DLITE install` for example.) What leads you to believe that this functionality isn't present? Do you get some sort of error messages when you try to do something?
Every time I do something like, "gvim ." or "vim .", when vim loads on the bottom of the screen I get ". is a directory" and there's nothing in the window to actually "edit." I did do some searching on the install I did. I did not do a "-lite" version in the ports tree. I did my install from /usr/ports/editors/vim (there's a .../vim-lite in the same directory of editors). I also found the netrw plugin referenced by Chip to exist in /usr/local/share/vim/vim70/plugin. According to what I've been able to determine, this should be sourced by vim when vim is executed. However, try as I have to remember, I do not recall the command to list the files vim sourced on startup. Can you provide that for me? Thanks for the help, Andy
