In my particular case (dbext.vim plugin) you can create "named connection profiles". When you first use the plugin it will prompt you (by #) which profile you would like to use. This is simply generated by entries you have put in your .vimrc. So in the end you are prompted like this: Enter profile #: 1. Oracle - DB_x 2. MySQL - MythTV 3. Sybase Ok Cancel In my case, I have over 75 profiles. The 75 lines easily create a box that is larger than the window, so I expect it to scroll within the window. confirm() is a nice generic way to get input, the text added can easily be large. Thanks for testing and confirming. David -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
