The user's Vim files are normally located, either (privately) at $HOME/.vim/ (Unix) or $HOME/vimfiles/ (Windows), or (installation-wide) at $VIM/vimfiles/ — or, in all cases, in the after/ subdirectories of the same, depending on whether you want them to be sourced before or after the corresponding scripts from the Vim distribution. There are rare cases (which I won't describe here — if they applied to you you would know it, and what to do) where it is worth setting $VIM to some nondefault value. For details about where to put your own Vim scripts (other than your vimrc or gvimrc which are in your home directory) see :help 'runtimepath' Best regards, Tony. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
