*vim_vms.txt*  For Vim version 4.5. Last modification: 1996 Dec 3

This file contains the particularities for the VMS version of Vim.

For compiling Vim on VMS see "INSTALL" and "vim.mms" in the src directory.

The default help filename is "vim_hlp:vim_help.txt"
The files "sys$login:.vimrc" and "sys$login:.exrc" are used instead of
"s:.vimrc" and "s:.exrc".

Temporary files (for filtering) are put in "tmp:".

Put the following commands in your login.com:

$ edit		:== $dev:[path.src]vim.exe
$ vi		:== $dev:[path.src]vim.exe
$ vim		:== $dev:[path.src]vim.exe
$ gvim		:== $dev:[path.src]gvim.exe
$ mms_vim	:== $dev:[path.src]mms_vim.exe
$ def		vim_hlp		dev:[path.doc]
$ def		tmp		sys$login:

^Z is only possible when the original process executing vim was detached :
    $ spawn vim
The program attaches to the original process (DCL). The editor-process
can be attached to with the command:
    $ attach/id=<pid>
The logical VIMPID is set with the appriate pid. The attach can be automated
with the definition of a key:
    $ def/key/term/erase/noecho/nolog pf4 "attach/id='f$trnlnm("""VIMPID""")"
If the editor was not spawned a sub-process is spawned, like the ":!" command.
