Thanks for letting me know, Bill. I started gearing up to try the vimball route just before checking the mail here. It would probably be a snap for most here, but it was beginning to look like a formidable task for me. Using netrw and 'd' sounds a lot more feasible.

I take it you created the folders on the ios device, then transferred to the contents from the osx device via iTunes?

I'm also taking it that once we get syncing with cloud services or even just wireless with osx devices it will be possible to use netrw to navigate remote file systems?

Even with file transfer limited to the iTunes mode, once I get my setup installed---or as much of it as proves to be possible---I will be using vim rather than the iPad-specific editors that I've installed---Textkraft and Nebulous notes, among others.
