My first thought would be to check where your swapfile is located. You can check the value of 'dir' :set dir? to see where Vim will try to write the swap file. If it's on a low-bandwidth or high-latency connection such as a shared drive, you might want to move it locally. You can read the grisly details at :help 'dir' Thus, you might want to remove "." from the setting for your network files: :set dir-=. or perhaps with an autocmd that only does that for network files. -tim -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
