I'm just following the directions in the vim docs. :) But it isn't working. First of all I would check that everything is in place: $ SHO LOG VIM $ SHO LOG VIM %SHOW-S-NOTRAN, no translation for logical name VIM $ SHO LOG TMP $ SHO LOG TMP %SHOW-S-NOTRAN, no translation for logical name TMP $ SHO SYM VIM (with and without /GLOBAL) $ SHO SYM VIM %DCL-W-UNDSYM, undefined symbol - check validity and spelling $ sho sym/glo vim %DCL-W-UNDSYM, undefined symbol - check validity and spelling Obviously things aren't getting setup correctly. I wonder if I put it all in the correct spots. -brian
