Do you know about irc?
We can meet on my virtual server and try your example.
About Vim docs: Yes - sometimes they are hard to understand.
That's why I've told about ways to contact me first ..

I don't find it. Can you tell me the line number?
In fact section 5 was removed - it does no longer exist. Where did you
get VAM from? I recommend fetching VAM by using git - the way SetupVAM
does.

looks fine to me.

No, VAM does usually not modify your .vimrc. There has been one case
where it did - but the user was asked ..
> What is the reason for the explanation of how to add plugin names to your .vimrc?
I don't understand the question. You specify the names of the plugins
you want to use. Everything else (downloading the plugins and adding
them to runtimepath) should be done automatically by VAM.

I don't think so.
I hope that I didn't give you the impression being stupid.
You've contacted me - and that shows that you you've
found best way to advance. Its like driving a car: You can drive a
car without understanding all details about the engine and electronics.
vim-addon-manager-known-repositories is an implementation detail which
does not matter much to you unless you want to change the source of
plugins VAM knows about.

Just keep asking and you'll get answers to everything you want to know.
And if you have suggestions about improving the docs - we are grateful
as well.
