Hi, Marcin. Thank you very much for your response. I followed your
suggestion about (":set noreadonly") and looks like it is working.
When i enter ":helptags ~/vimfiles/doc" command (i also tried
":helptags vimfiles/doc") the error message is : "Not a directory".
To give you an idea of my vimlatex files location: following the
instructions on vimlatex website, i extracted the vimlatex folder into
a folder called vimfiles. This vimlatex folder has the following long
name: "vim-latex-1.8.23-20110214.1049-git089726a". There are other
subfolders in vimfiles all of which(besides vim-latex one) are empty.
I don't know if this info is relevant, but wanted to mention it just
in case. Thank you again.
S.
