When I type :

let MRU_File = expand($VIM)/_vim_mru_files

a) it creates errors
E121: Undefined variable: _vim_mru_files
E15: Invalid expression: expand($VIM)/_vim_mru_files

b) However it does seems to work.

What is wrong?


When I added two qoutes characters (') before and behind the line:
let MRU_File = 'expand($VIM)/_vim_mru_files'
I don't get the error, but it also doesn't work.

Rgds,
Jeri
