The myedit program is actually running vim in it and editing a different file file2. People who run myedit edits the file using normal vi commands & thinking they are editing file1. They would be saving the normal :w, :wq or :x. I don't want the users to know that they actually ended up editing the file2 as that could be a security issue.

And the users use Vi commands? What happens if they use in normal mode
<ctrl-g>? Then they will now that they are editing a different file.

Well, basically the idea is, create the custom :W command from my last
message and then use the cmdalias plugin to alias that command to :w
command. That needs to be done for all commands that save a file. I do
not think, there is an easier method.

Best,
Christian
