$ vim -p a a #this doesn't open file a in two tabpages Given that this behavior is consistant across three command-line options, and without having searched for the code, I'd say that Vim does this on purpose. I would suspect that opening the same file in two windows isn't a real common need, especially if each view of the file starts at the very same line. If you really want to do this, though, may I suggest: $ vim a -c "vert sb" -- Erik Falor Registered Linux User #445632 http://counter.li.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
