IIRC, ftdetect files are read at the first "filetype on" (or "syntax on", which indirectly calls the former), and aren't re-read after 'runtimepath' is changed. So, I haven't tested this, but I'm relatively certain you could have fixed your original problem by doing "filetype off" and "filetype on" as the next two lines after your 'runtimepath' change, to force the ftdetect scripts to be reloaded. ~Matt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
