you don't need expand() here. It's onyl necessary if you want to expand environment variables inside a string, like in the second example. Thus, :let MRU_File = $VIM . "/_vim_mru_files" is sufficient. > alternatively, you can use: > :let my_path = "$VIM/_vim_mru_files" > :let MRU_FILE = expand(my_path) Regards, Jürgen -- Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.
