Yes, if you were to use those first two mappings without the AdjCursor() function defined, I would expect them to fail as you describe. You can avoid that by defining AdjCursor() as an empty function. Alternatively, you can use the mapping that I intended for you to use to demonstrate the problem, the one defined in test.vim.
