hi yakov!
tnx for the info.
however about my 2nd question, what I wanted to know is this scenario
I have a file lets say myfile.
its currently open to a buffer.
but then I input this file to a perl script then save the results
what vim will do is prompt me that my file changed and make me choose to
load it or not (because it is open in a buffer).
This scenario is what I don't want to happen because obviously it was
really my intention to change the file in the first place.
can I disable this prompt somehow?
