Re: which file is being edited?

register % contains the name of the current file. You can pass '%' as an
argument to the expand() function:

:echo expand('%')

or

:let filename = expand('%')

This might give you the file name with a path relative to the current
directory. If you always want an absolute path you can append ':p' to
the register name:

:echo expand('%:p')

Jürgen
