That means you load a file named "shellname".

That sounds like normal mode.

That sounds like the command-line window. Did you type "q:"?

Yeah, that's the command-line window.

It depends on what you mean by "permanent". If you mean "from one Vim
instance to the next", well, yes that's impossible, but that's also
pretty much what a .vimrc file is used to: to store command you want
executed every time you open Vim.

Now I'm sorry if I'm a bit rude, but judging from your interventions
here I must ask: did you read the ... manual?

Best,
Paul
