Should have been a piece of cake to do it that way... Off the top of my head, this should do the trick: cp /usr/share/vim/vim72/plugin/gzip.vim ~/.vim/plugin sed -i 's/\.gz\>/.gz,.gzo/' ~/.vim/plugin/gzip.vim ie, just add .gzo after every file pattern matching .gz ~Matt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
