No, there is no = command, at least not in bash. Are you suggesting that vim parse the :! command line for the special case of a backtick-equal combination, execute that as a Vim expression and otherwise pass the backtick expression to the shell for interpretation by the shell? That could be done but would be horribly inconsistent and confusing. Regards, Gary -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
