Thank you Adam. I tested this version, but it seems to expect that
python 2.7 is installed (when I ran the command ":python print" it
gave the following error message: "E370: Could not load library
python27.dll").
Since I have python 2.6, do you know if there is a version that is
compiled with python 2.6 support?

BTW, the vim.org download web page does not mention anywhere that the
"OLE GUI Executable" version of the the vim package that comes with
python support. I think that it would be nice if it did! :-)

Thanks,

Angel
