To all,

Oliver posted this same question to the vim_dev list as well as the
vim_use list. Tony and I have already replied on the vim_dev list,
so I think it would best to keep the discussion there rather than
have two discussions of the same question.

Oliver,

Please post each question to one list or the other, but not to both.

Regards,
Gary
