Michael, This is taken out of context. vim works as you describe however I was not insinuating that vim worked as "MS-land" programs. I was considering the original poster's definition of "MS-land" programs as native Win32 programs and not ports of software to this platform or others. If anyone else got the impression I meant otherwise, please accept my apologies. -- Larry - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
