Re: How to set vim to not display filename info when saving

Here is what is happening: different users are actually running a program called myedit. So user are running say 'myedit file1'. The myedit program is actually running vim in it and editing a different file file2. People who run myedit edits the file using normal vi commands & thinking they are editing file1. They would be saving the normal :w, :wq or :x. I don't want the users to know that they actually ended up editing the file2 as that could be a security issue.
I am not clear on how I can implement what you suggested and meet the above need.
