@Doug Kearns, Ok. How about if I made it something like
cStandardCLibraryFunctions as the name and then the list could then be included into a later cFunction command? Would that be a good idea? Also, I think I'm going to have to try the command that is in the "still to be released" c.vim that you posted about. I want to test it out to see if it is better than what I put into my c.vim file. If it is - then I'll take mine back out of what I have.
