Hi John:
Thank you for clarifying that. Some time after submitting the post, I did discover that myself. I find that it is generally a real stretch to offer any criticism of vim, but I did find that the command :h isk did not provide me with much edification. BTW: How would add or remove the comma itself from the keyword string? thanks again -- Tim tim at johnsons-web.com or akwebsoft.com http://www.akwebsoft.com -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
