Well, is there a bomb on another helpfile?

:vimgrep /\%1l/ ~/.vim/*.txt
:setl fenc? bomb? " watch for "utf-8" together with "bomb"
" or for anything other than utf-8 or latin1
:cn|setl fenc? bomb?
:cn|setl fenc? bomb?
:cn|setl fenc? bomb?
etc.

You may of course use mapping to ease your typing:

:map <F2> :cn|setl fenc? bomb?
:map <S-F2> :cN|setl fenc? bomb?

Best regards,
Tony.
