I thought maybe correcting the value of TMP would fix vim's inability to save files, but it seems not. Everytime I try to save a file I get an error message like this: "\home\profile.sh" E212: Can't open file for writing I have write permission for /home/profile.sh and other editors (freemacs, edit) have no problem writing to that file. I'm an emacs user not a vi user, so vi not working isn't slowing me down any, but I thought I'd report it anyway. It's vim 7.0, BTW. For any other unix geeks out there, I'm fairly impressed with ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/gnuish/ms_sh/ It's not _quite_ Gnu bash et. al., but it's pretty comfortable (now all I have to do is figure out how to fix that damned caps-lock key...). -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!
