Speak of the devil. Since this thread I ran across C:\Windows\System32\gatherNetworkInfo.vbs. Curious, I right-clicked, "Edit with Vim" and received a blank file with the status line '"C:\Windows\System32\gatherNetworkInfo.vbs" [New file]'. I can edit the file by doing :e C:\Windows\Sysnative\gatherNetworkInfo.vbs Understandably, the Sysnative part does not auto-complete, but once I got to the 'g' I could autocomplete the filename. So there's one real-world case. I really think this needs to be noted in the help, if nothing else. ...Stu -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
