Hi Yegappan,

Thank you. That fixed the problem. I had copied your script from
your original posting by decode-saving your message from mutt, then
deleting the text before and after the script. It turns out that
the leading spaces in that copy included non-breaking space
characters, 0xa0, which somehow confused Vim's parser.

I did have to convert your attachment from DOS to Unix line endings,
but that was immediately apparent and not a problem.

Regards,
Gary
