Please apply your patches to the latest version of the file. In eval.txt
dated 2008 Sep 14, line, 4482 to 4489 are
{only available when compiled with the |+clientserver| feature}
Note: Any errors will be reported in the server and may mess
up the display.
Examples: >
:echo remote_send("gvim", ":DropAndReply ".file, "serverid").
\ remote_read(serverid)
:autocmd NONE RemoteReply *
within the help for remote_send(); IOW your pointer is 14 lines too short.
Best regards,
Tony.
