Thanks, Tony. As I said to, Thilo. I think this may be the best solution in this case. The files in question are all in subdirectories of a single directory. I'm sorry, though. I'm a little dense. Javier's reference led me to check out all the help related to new-filetype. I'm uncertain how to use the information to define the filetype with these files. C.2. of the new-filetype help suggests creating a file with commands to detect the filetype. Putting that together with your's and Thilo's suggestion, would putting something like the following in my .vimrc do the job? au! BufRead,BufNewFile *.~/foo/bar/* setfiletype markdown Probably that's all garbled, but perhaps it will enable you to point me in the right direction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
