i have a script that remembers it for me:

<vhs>
#!/bin/bash
#  hidden vim for use with sysin
vim -c 'call Hideme()' $@ -
</vhs>

and of course in .vimrc i have:

function! Hideme()
    setlocal noswapfile
    setlocal buftype=nofile
    setlocal bufhidden=hide
endfunction

Hideme's cool for a lot of other functions too but that's
another story

for reading sysin i can do

    ls -AlgG * | vhs

and i have a listing of the current directory in a vim
throw-away buffer -- incredibly useful
