Charles, NetRW's handling of file:// paths (as opposed to the other paths is supports) causes Vim to use multiple buffers to open the file. For example, "vim file://.vimrc" will show two buffers -- an empty one for "file://.vimrc" and the actual vimrc in the ".virmc" buffer.
This exacerbates itself if the user uses the "file://localhost/..." syntax supported by NetRW. In that case, 3 buffers are used -- the two mentioned above as well as an empty "localhost/.vimrc" buffer that causes Vim to display a "[New DIRECTORY]" message. Is it possible to adjust this so that file:// URIs behave as the others or is this simply an unavoidable limitation? Thanks, James -- GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
