Charles, I'm not smart enough to know the difference between @* or @+. All I know is that when I use netrw it fills my clipboard program (Jumpcut) with netrw directory listings. In my .vimrc it says: set clipboard=unnamed I believe this is the only clipboard-related entry in my vimrc. I can attach a screenshot of the Jumpcut gui after using netrw. It shows the first line of each entry on the clipboard. The ======== lines are netrw entries. It's really no big deal. I should become more adept at using registers anyway.
