thanks. checked permissions of both apps via get info. they had nearly identical permissions, except regarding owners. mac vim had "ericweir" (user) as owner. terminal had "root" as owner.
searching the web a bit I was led to check system settings under privacy and security. within the latter I found Mac vim did not have full disk access. after changing that the problem is solved. wiai, mac_vim is not updating in apple mail. I didn't find your response till I checked the group on the web.
