netrw and symbolic links

Hi

I'm just discovering Vim's ability to edit files that reside on a
remote machine. I wish to run gVim on my Wndows machine, and the files
that are locted on a linux machine are accesible by ftp.

Everything was working fine, and I was browsing away on the remote
machine, when I tried to open a symbolic link. and the browser
returned me to my remote home directory. Maybe I should have noticed
that the file in question was marked as a directory in the browser.

When searching the documentation it seems that the issue has been
dealt with, so I'm at a loss.

Can anyone point out a solution to editing files pointed to by a
symbolic link?

BTW, I'm using gVim 7.3.

TIA, Thomas
