+The Netrw plugin is generally sourced automatically as it is a
+|standard-plugin|.  That said, to make use of netrw, one must
+have plugins available which can be done with the following
+two lines in your <.vimrc>: >
+
+	set nocp                    " 'compatible' is not set
+	filetype plugin on          " plugins are enabled
+<
+You can avoid loading this plugin by setting the "loaded_netrw" variable
+in your <.vimrc> file: >
+
+	:let loaded_netrw = 1
+
+{Vi does not have any of this}
+
+==============================================================================
+2. Starting With Netrw						*netrw-start*
+
+Netrw makes reading, writing, and browsing over a network connection easy!
+First, make sure that you have plugins enabled, so you'll need to have at
+least the following in your <.vimrc>: (or see |netrw-activate|) >
+
+	set nocp                    " 'compatible' is not set
+	filetype plugin on          " plugins are enabled
+<
+(see |'cp'| and |:filetype-plugin-on|)
+
+Netrw supports "transparent" editing of files on other machines using urls
+(see |netrw-transparent|). As an example of this, let's assume you have an
+account on some other machine; try >
+
+	vim scp://hostname/path/to/file
+<
+if you have an ssh connection.  Want to make ssh/scp easier to use? Check
+out |netrw-listhack|!
+
+What if you have ftp, not ssh/scp?  That's easy, too; try >
+
+	vim ftp://hostname/path/to/file
+<
+Want to make ftp simpler to use?  See if your ftp supports a file called
+<.netrc> -- typically it goes in your home directory, has read/write
+permissions for only the user to read (ie. not group, world, other, etc),
+and has lines resembling >
+
+	machine HOSTNAME login USERID password "PASSWORD"
+	machine HOSTNAME login USERID password "PASSWORD"
+	...
+	default          login USERID password "PASSWORD"
+<
+Now about browsing -- ie. when you just want to look around before editing a
+file.  For browsing on your current host, just "edit" a directory: >
+
+	vim .
+	vim /home/userid/path
+<
+For browsing on a remote host, "edit" a directory (but make sure that
+the directory name is followed by a "/"): >
+
+	vim scp://hostname/
+	vim ftp://hostname/path/to/dir/
+<
+See |netrw-browse| for more!
+
+There's more protocols supported than scp and ftp, too: see the next
+section, |netrw-externapp|.

+ CHANGING USERID AND PASSWORD			*netrw-chgup* *netrw-userpass*
+
+	Attempts to use ftp will prompt you for a user-id and a password.
+	These will be saved in global variables g:netrw_uid and
+	g:netrw_passwd; subsequent uses of ftp will re-use those two items to
+	simplify the further use of ftp.  However, if you need to use a
+	different user id and/or password, you'll want to call NetUserPass()
+	first.  To work around the need to enter passwords, check if your ftp
+	supports a <.netrc> file in your home directory.  Also see
+	|netrw-passwd| (and if you're using ssh/scp hoping to figure out how
+	to not need to use passwords, look at |netrw-listhack|).
+
+	:NetUserPass [uid [password]]		-- prompts as needed
+	:call NetUserPass()			-- prompts for uid and password
+	:call NetUserPass("uid")		-- prompts for password
+	:call NetUserPass("uid","password")	-- sets global uid and password

+
+ *b:netrw_lastfile*	last file Network-read/written retained on a per-buffer

+
+ *g:netrw_ftp*		if it doesn't exist, use default ftp
+			=0 use default ftp		       (uid password)

+			If you're having trouble with ftp, try changing the
+			value of this variable to see if the alternate ftp
+			method works for your setup.
+
+ *g:netrw_extracmd*	default: doesn't exist
+                        If this variable exists, then any string it contains
+			will be placed into the commands set to your ftp
+			client.  As an example:
+			  ="passive"
+
+ *g:netrw_ftpmode*	="binary"				    (default)
+			="ascii"
+
+ *g:netrw_ignorenetrc*	=0 (default for linux, cygwin)
+			=1 If you have a <.netrc> file but it doesn't work and
+			   you want it ignored, then set this variable as shown.
+			   (default for Windows + cmd.exe)
+
+ *g:netrw_menu*		=0 disable netrw's menu
+			=1 (default) netrw's menu enabled
+
+ *g:netrw_nogx*		if this variable exists, then the "gx" map will not
+			be available (see |netrw-gx|)
+
+ *g:netrw_uid*		(ftp) user-id,      retained on a per-session basis
+ *g:netrw_passwd*	(ftp) password,     retained on a per-session basis
+
+ *g:netrw_shq*		= "'" for Unix/Linux systems (ie. a single quote)
+			= "'" for Windows + cygwin systems (ie. a single quote)
+			= '"' for Windows systems, not using cygwin
+			      (ie. a double quote)
+			Controls the quoting character used during scp and ftp
+			commands.
+
+ *g:netrw_scpport*      = "-P" : option to use to set port for scp
+ *g:netrw_sshport*      = "-p" : option to use to set port for ssh
+
+ *g:netrw_use_errorwindow* =1 : messages from netrw will use a separate one
+                                line window.  This window provides reliable
+				delivery of messages. (default)
+			   =0 : messages from netrw will use echoerr ;
+			        messages don't always seem to show up this
+				way, but one doesn't have to quit the window.
+
+ *g:netrw_win95ftp*	=1 if using Win95, will remove four trailing blank
+			   lines that o/s's ftp "provides" on transfers
+			=0 force normal ftp behavior (no trailing line removal)

+			   Network browsing uses dir instead of ls
+			This option is ignored if you're using unix
+
+ *g:netrw_use_nt_rcp*	=0 don't use the rcp of WinNT, Win2000 and WinXP
+			=1 use WinNT's rcp in binary mode         (default)
+
+PATHS								*netrw-path*
+
+Paths to files are generally user-directory relative for most protocols.
+It is possible that some protocol will make paths relative to some
+associated directory, however.
+>
+	example:  vim scp://user@host/somefile
+	example:  vim scp://user@host/subdir1/subdir2/somefile
+<
+where "somefile" is the "user"'s home directory.  If you wish to get a
+file using root-relative paths, use the full path:
+>
+	example:  vim scp://user@host//somefile
+	example:  vim scp://user@host//subdir1/subdir2/somefile
+<
+
+==============================================================================
+4. Network-Oriented File Transfer				*netrw-xfer*
+
+Network-oriented file transfer under Vim is implemented by a VimL-based script
+(<netrw.vim>) using plugin techniques.  It currently supports both reading and
+writing across networks using rcp, scp, ftp or ftp+<.netrc>, scp, fetch,
+dav/cadaver, rsync, or sftp.
+
+http is currently supported read-only via use of wget or fetch.
+
+<netrw.vim> is a standard plugin which acts as glue between Vim and the
+various file transfer programs.  It uses autocommand events (BufReadCmd,
+FileReadCmd, BufWriteCmd) to intercept reads/writes with url-like filenames. >
+
+	ex. vim ftp://hostname/path/to/file
+<
+The characters preceding the colon specify the protocol to use; in the
+example, its ftp.  The <netrw.vim> script then formulates a command or a
+series of commands (typically ftp) which it issues to an external program
+(ftp, scp, etc) which does the actual file transfer/protocol.  Files are read
+from/written to a temporary file (under Unix/Linux, /tmp/...) which the
+<netrw.vim> script will clean up.
+
+				*netrw-putty* *netrw-pscp* *netrw-psftp*
+One may modify any protocol's implementing external application by setting a
+variable (ex. scp uses the variable g:netrw_scp_cmd, which is defaulted to
+"scp -q").  As an example, consider using PuTTY: >
+
+	let g:netrw_scp_cmd = '"c:\Program Files\PuTTY\pscp.exe" -q -batch'
+	let g:netrw_sftp_cmd= '"c:\Program Files\PuTTY\psftp.exe"'
+<
+See |netrw-p8| for more about putty, pscp, psftp, etc.
+
+Ftp, an old protocol, seems to be blessed by numerous implementations.
+Unfortunately, some implementations are noisy (ie., add junk to the end of the
+file).  Thus, concerned users may decide to write a NetReadFixup() function
+that will clean up after reading with their ftp.  Some Unix systems (ie.,
+FreeBSD) provide a utility called "fetch" which uses the ftp protocol but is
+not noisy and more convenient, actually, for <netrw.vim> to use.
+Consequently, if "fetch" is executable, it will be used to do reads for
+ftp://... (and http://...) .  See |netrw-var| for more about this.
+
+For rcp, scp, sftp, and http, one may use network-oriented file transfers
+transparently; ie.
+>
+	vim rcp://[user@]machine/path
+	vim scp://[user@]machine/path
+<
+If your ftp supports <.netrc>, then it too can be just as transparently used
+if the needed triad of machine name, user id, and password are present in
+that file.  Your ftp must be able to use the <.netrc> file on its own, however.
+>
+	vim ftp://[user@]machine[[:#]portnumber]/path
+<
+However, ftp will often need to query the user for the userid and password.
+The latter will be done "silently"; ie. asterisks will show up instead of
+the actually-typed-in password.  Netrw will retain the userid and password
+for subsequent read/writes from the most recent transfer so subsequent
+transfers (read/write) to or from that machine will take place without
+additional prompting.

+	if a different port is needed than the standard ftp port
+
+	(*4) for http:..., if wget is available it will be used.  Otherwise,
+	if fetch is available it will be used.
+
+Both the :Nread and the :Nwrite ex-commands can accept multiple filenames.
+
+
+NETRC							*netrw-netrc*
+
+The typical syntax for lines in a <.netrc> file is given as shown below.
+Ftp under Unix usually supports <.netrc>; ftp under Windows usually doesn't.
+>
+	machine {full machine name} login {user-id} password "{password}"
+	default login {user-id} password "{password}"
+
+Your ftp client must handle the use of <.netrc> on its own, but if the
+<.netrc> file exists, an ftp transfer will not ask for the user-id or
+password.
+
+	Note:
+	Since this file contains passwords, make very sure nobody else can
+	read this file!  Most programs will refuse to use a .netrc that is
+	readable for others.  Don't forget that the system administrator can
+	still read the file!
+
+
+PASSWORD						*netrw-passwd*
+
+The script attempts to get passwords for ftp invisibly using |inputsecret()|,
+a built-in Vim function.  See |netrw-uidpass| for how to change the password
+after one has set it.
+
+Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a way for netrw to feed a password to
+scp.  Thus every transfer via scp will require re-entry of the password.
+However, |netrw-listhack| can help with this problem.
+
+
+==============================================================================
+5. Activation						*netrw-activate*
+
+Network-oriented file transfers are available by default whenever Vim's
+|'nocompatible'| mode is enabled.  The <netrw.vim> file resides in your
+system's vim-plugin directory and is sourced automatically whenever you bring
+up vim.  I suggest that, at a minimum, you have at least the following in your
+<.vimrc> customization file: >
+
+	set nocp
+	if version >= 600
+	  filetype plugin indent on
+	endif
+<
+
+==============================================================================
+6. Transparent File Transfer				*netrw-transparent*
+
+Transparent file transfers occur whenever a regular file read or write
+(invoked via an |:autocmd| for |BufReadCmd| or |BufWriteCmd| events) is made.
+Thus one may use files across networks just as simply as if they were local. >
+
+	vim ftp://[user@]machine/path
+	...
+	:wq
+
+See |netrw-activate| for more on how to encourage your vim to use plugins
+such as netrw.
+
+
+==============================================================================
+7. Ex Commands						*netrw-ex*
+
+The usual read/write commands are supported.  There are also a few
+additional commands available.  Often you won't need to use Nw or
+Nread as shown in |netrw-transparent| (ie. simply use >
+  :e url
+  :r url
+  :w url
+instead, as appropriate) -- see |netrw-urls|.  In the explanations
+below, a {netfile} is an url to a remote file.
+
+:[range]Nw	Write the specified lines to the current
+		file as specified in b:netrw_lastfile.
+
+:[range]Nw {netfile} [{netfile}]...
+		Write the specified lines to the {netfile}.
+
+:Nread		Read the specified lines into the current
+		buffer from the file specified in
+		b:netrw_lastfile.
+
+:Nread {netfile} {netfile}...
+		Read the {netfile} after the current line.
+
+:Nsource {netfile}
+		Source the {netfile}.
+		To start up vim using a remote .vimrc, one may use
+		the following (all on one line) (tnx to Antoine Mechelynck) >
+		vim -u NORC -N
+		 --cmd "runtime plugin/netrwPlugin.vim"
+		 --cmd "source scp://HOSTNAME/.vimrc"
+<								*netrw-uidpass*
+:call NetUserPass()
+		If b:netrw_uid and b:netrw_passwd don't exist,
+		this function query the user for them.
+
+:call NetUserPass("userid")
+		This call will set the b:netrw_uid and, if
+		the password doesn't exist, will query the user for it.
+
+:call NetUserPass("userid","passwd")
+		This call will set both the b:netrw_uid and b:netrw_passwd.
+		The user-id and password are used by ftp transfers.  One may
+		effectively remove the user-id and password by using ""
+		strings.
+
+:NetrwSettings  This command is described in |netrw-settings| -- used to
+                display netrw settings and change netrw behavior.
+
+
+==============================================================================
+8. Variables and Options			*netrw-options* *netrw-var*
+
+The <netrw.vim> script provides several variables which act as options to
+ffect <netrw.vim>'s behavior.  These variables typically may be set in the
+user's <.vimrc> file:
+(also see:
+|netrw-settings| |netrw-browse-var| |netrw-protocol| |netrw-settings|) >

+<
+								*netrw-ftp*
+
+The g:netrw_..._cmd options (|g:netrw_ftp_cmd| and |g:netrw_sftp_cmd|)
+specify the external program to use handle the ftp protocol.  They may
+include command line options (such as -p for passive mode).
+
+Browsing is supported by using the |g:netrw_list_cmd|; the substring
+"HOSTNAME" will be changed via substitution with whatever the current request
+is for a hostname.
+
+Two options (|g:netrw_ftp| and |netrw-fixup|) both help with certain ftp's
+that give trouble .  In order to best understand how to use these options if
+ftp is giving you troubles, a bit of discussion is provided on how netrw does
+ftp reads.
+
+For ftp, netrw typically builds up lines of one of the following formats in a
+temporary file:
+>
+  IF g:netrw_ftp !exists or is not 1     IF g:netrw_ftp exists and is 1
+  ----------------------------------     ------------------------------
+<
+       open machine [port]                    open machine [port]
+       user userid password                   userid password
+       [g:netrw_ftpmode]                      password
+       [g:netrw_extracmd]                     [g:netrw_ftpmode]
+       get filename tempfile                  [g:netrw_extracmd]
+                                              get filename tempfile >
+  ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+<
+The |g:netrw_ftpmode| and |g:netrw_extracmd| are optional.
+
+Netrw then executes the lines above by use of a filter:
+>
+	:%! {g:netrw_ftp_cmd} -i [-n]
+<
+where
+	g:netrw_ftp_cmd is usually "ftp",
+	-i tells ftp not to be interactive
+	-n means don't use netrc and is used for Method #3 (ftp w/o <.netrc>)
+
+If <.netrc> exists it will be used to avoid having to query the user for
+userid and password.  The transferred file is put into a temporary file.
+The temporary file is then read into the main editing session window that
+requested it and the temporary file deleted.
+
+If your ftp doesn't accept the "user" command and immediately just demands a
+userid, then try putting "let netrw_ftp=1" in your <.vimrc>.
+
+								*netrw-cadaver*
+To handle the SSL certificate dialog for untrusted servers, one may pull
+down the certificate and place it into /usr/ssl/cert.pem.  This operation
+renders the server treatment as "trusted".
+
+						*netrw-fixup* *netreadfixup*
+If your ftp for whatever reason generates unwanted lines (such as AUTH
+messages) you may write a NetReadFixup(tmpfile) function:
+>
+    function! NetReadFixup(method,line1,line2)
+      " a:line1: first new line in current file
+      " a:line2: last  new line in current file
+      if     a:method == 1 "rcp
+      elseif a:method == 2 "ftp + <.netrc>
+      elseif a:method == 3 "ftp + machine,uid,password,filename
+      elseif a:method == 4 "scp
+      elseif a:method == 5 "http/wget
+      elseif a:method == 6 "dav/cadaver
+      elseif a:method == 7 "rsync
+      elseif a:method == 8 "fetch
+      elseif a:method == 9 "sftp
+      else               " complain
+      endif
+    endfunction
+>
+The NetReadFixup() function will be called if it exists and thus allows you to
+customize your reading process.  As a further example, <netrw.vim> contains
+just such a function to handle Windows 95 ftp.  For whatever reason, Windows
+95's ftp dumps four blank lines at the end of a transfer, and so it is
+desirable to automate their removal.  Here's some code taken from <netrw.vim>
+itself:
+>
+    if has("win95") && g:netrw_win95ftp
+     fun! NetReadFixup(method, line1, line2)
+       if method == 3   " ftp (no <.netrc>)
+        let fourblanklines= line2 - 3
+        silent fourblanklines.",".line2."g/^\s*/d"
+       endif
+     endfunction
+    endif

+NETRW BROWSER VARIABLES					*netrw-browse-var*
+>
+   ---				-----------
+   Var				Explanation
+   ---				-----------
+< *g:netrw_alto*		change from above splitting to below splitting
+				by setting this variable (see |netrw-o|)
+				 default: =&sb           (see |'sb'|)
+
+  *g:netrw_altv*		change from left splitting to right splitting
+				by setting this variable (see |netrw-v|)
+				 default: =&spr          (see |'spr'|)
+
+  *g:netrw_browse_split*	when browsing, <cr> will open the file by:
+				=0: re-using the same window
+				=1: horizontally splitting the window first  
+				=2: vertically   splitting the window first  
+				=3: open file in new tab
+
+  *g:netrw_browsex_viewer*	specify user's preference for a viewer: >
+					"kfmclient exec"
+					"gnome-open"
+<				If >
+					"-"
+<				is used, then netrwFileHandler() will look for
+				a script/function to handle the given
+				extension.  (see |netrw_filehandler|).
+
+  *g:netrw_fastbrowse*		=0: slow speed browsing, never re-use
+				    directory listings; always obtain
+				    directory listings.
+				=1: medium speed browsing, re-use directory
+				    listings only when remote browsing.
+				    (default value)
+				=2: fast browsing, only obtains directory
+				    listings when the directory hasn't been
+				    seen before (or |netrw-ctrl-l| is used).
+				Fast browsing retains old directory listing
+				buffers so that they don't need to be
+				re-acquired.  This feature is especially
+				important for remote browsing.  However, if
+				a file is introduced or deleted into or from
+				such directories, the old directory buffer
+				becomes out-of-date.  One may always refresh
+				such a directory listing with |netrw-ctrl-l|.
+				This option gives the choice of the trade-off
+				between accuracy and speed to the user.
+
+  *g:netrw_ftp_browse_reject*	ftp can produce a number of errors and warnings
+				that can show up as "directories" and "files"
+				in the listing.  This pattern is used to
+				remove such embedded messages.  By default its
+				value is:
+				 '^total\s\+\d\+$\|
+				 ^Trying\s\+\d\+.*$\|
+				 ^KERBEROS_V\d rejected\|
+				 ^Security extensions not\|
+				 No such file\|
+				 : connect to address [0-9a-fA-F:]*
+				 : No route to host$'
+
+  *g:netrw_ftp_list_cmd*	options for passing along to ftp for directory
+				listing.  Defaults:
+				 unix or g:netrw_cygwin set: : "ls -lF"
+				 otherwise                     "dir"
+
+
+  *g:netrw_ftp_sizelist_cmd*	options for passing along to ftp for directory
+				listing, sorted by size of file.
+				Defaults:
+				 unix or g:netrw_cygwin set: : "ls -slF"
+				 otherwise                     "dir"
+
+  *g:netrw_ftp_timelist_cmd*	options for passing along to ftp for directory
+				listing, sorted by time of last modification.
+				Defaults:
+				 unix or g:netrw_cygwin set: : "ls -tlF"
+				 otherwise                     "dir"
+
+  *g:netrw_hide*		if true, the hiding list is used
+				 default: =0
+
+  *g:netrw_keepdir*		=1 (default) keep current directory immune from
+				   the browsing directory.
+				=0 keep the current directory the same as the
+				   browsing directory.
+				The current browsing directory is contained in
+				b:netrw_curdir (also see |netrw-c|)
+
+  *g:netrw_list_cmd*		command for listing remote directories
+				 default: (if ssh is executable)
+				          "ssh HOSTNAME ls -FLa"
+
+  *g:netrw_liststyle*		Set the default listing style:

+				 default: "rmdir"
+
+  *g:netrw_maxfilenamelen*	=32 by default, selected so as to make long

+
+INTRODUCTION TO DIRECTORY BROWSING			*netrw-browse-intro*
+
+Netrw supports the browsing of directories on the local system and on remote
+hosts, including listing files and directories, entering directories, editing
+files therein, deleting files/directories, making new directories, and moving
+(renaming) files and directories.  The Netrw browser generally implements the
+previous explorer maps and commands for remote directories, although details
+(such as pertinent global variable names) necessarily differ.
+
+The Netrw remote file and directory browser handles two protocols: ssh and
+ftp.  The protocol in the url, if it is ftp, will cause netrw to use ftp
+in its remote browsing.  Any other protocol will be used for file transfers,
+but otherwise the ssh protocol will be used to do remote directory browsing.
+
+To use Netrw's remote directory browser, simply attempt to read a "file" with a
+trailing slash and it will be interpreted as a request to list a directory:
+
+	vim [protocol]://[user@]hostname/path/
+
+For local directories, the trailing slash is not required.
+
+If you'd like to avoid entering the password in for remote directory listings
+with ssh or scp, see |netrw-listhack|.
+

+NETRW BROWSING AND OPTION INCOMPATIBILITIES		*netrw-incompatible*
+
+Netrw will not work properly with >

+	:set acd
+	:set fo=...ta...

+If either of these options are present when browsing is attempted, netrw
+will change them by using noacd and removing the ta suboptions from the
+|'formatoptions'|.

+DIRECTORY EXPLORING COMMANDS 
+
+     :Explore[!]   [dir]... Explore directory of current file       *:Explore*
+     :Sexplore[!]  [dir]... Split&Explore directory of current file *:Sexplore*
+     :Hexplore[!]  [dir]... Horizontal Split & Explore              *:Hexplore*
+     :Vexplore[!]  [dir]... Vertical   Split & Explore              *:Vexplore*
+     :Texplore     [dir]... Tab              & Explore              *:Texplore*
+
+     Used with :Explore **/pattern : (also see |netrw-starstar|)
+     :Nexplore............. go to next matching file                *:Nexplore*
+     :Pexplore............. go to previous matching file            *:Pexplore*
+
+:Explore  will open the local-directory browser on the current file's
+          directory (or on directory [dir] if specified).  The window will be
+	  split only if the file has been modified, otherwise the browsing
+	  window will take over that window.  Normally the splitting is taken
+	  horizontally.
+:Explore! is like :Explore, but will use vertical splitting.
+:Sexplore will always split the window before invoking the local-directory
+          browser.  As with Explore, the splitting is normally done
+	  horizontally.
+:Sexplore! [dir] is like :Sexplore, but the splitting will be done vertically.
+:Hexplore  [dir] does an :Explore with |:belowright| horizontal splitting.
+:Hexplore! [dir] does an :Explore with |:aboveleft|  horizontal splitting.
+:Vexplore  [dir] does an :Explore with |:leftabove|  vertical splitting.
+:Vexplore! [dir] does an :Explore with |:rightbelow| vertical splitting.
+:Texplore  [dir] does a tabnew before generating the browser window
+
+By default, these commands use the current file's directory.  However, one
+may explicitly provide a directory (path) to use.
+
+							*netrw-starstar*
+When Explore, Sexplore, Hexplore, or Vexplore are used with a **/filepat,
+such as:
+>
+	:Explore **/filename_pattern
+<
+netrw will attempt to find a file in the current directory or any subdirectory
+which matches the filename pattern.  Internally, it produces a list of files
+which match the pattern and their paths; to that extent it resembles the Unix
+operation:
+>
+	find $(pwd) -name "$1" -exec "echo" "{}" ";" 2> /dev/null
+<
+The directory display is updated to show the subdirectory containing a
+matching file.  One may then proceed to the next (or previous) matching files'
+directories by using Nexplore or Pexplore, respectively.  If your console or
+gui produces recognizable shift-up or shift-down sequences, then you'll likely
+find using shift-downarrow and shift-uparrow convenient.  They're mapped by
+netrw:
+
+	<s-down>  == Nexplore, and
+	<s-up>    == Pexplore.
+
+As an example, consider
+>
+	:Explore **/*.c
+	:Nexplore
+	:Nexplore
+	:Pexplore
+<
+The status line will show, on the right hand side of the status line, a
+message like "Match 3 of 20".
+
+							*netrw-starpat*
+When Explore, Sexplore, Hexplore, or Vexplore are used with a */pattern,
+such as:
+>
+	:Explore */pattern
+<
+netrw will use |:vimgrep| to find files which contain the given pattern.
+Like what happens with |netrw-starstar|, a list of files which contain
+matches to the given pattern is generated.  The cursor will then jump
+to the first file with the given pattern; |:Nexplore|, |:Pexplore|, and
+the shifted-down and -up arrows work with the list to move to the next
+or previous files in that list.
+
+						*netrw-starstarpat*
+When Explore, Sexplore, Hexplore, or Vexplore are used with a **//pattern,
+such as:
+>
+	:Explore **//pattern
+<
+then Explore will use |:vimgrep| to find files like |netrw-starpat|;
+however, Explore will also search subdirectories as well as the current
+directory.
+
+
+REFRESHING THE LISTING				*netrw-ctrl-l* *netrw-ctrl_l*
+
+To refresh either a local or remote directory listing, press ctrl-l (<c-l>) or
+hit the <cr> when atop the ./ directory entry in the listing.  One may also
+refresh a local directory by using ":e .".
+
+
+GOING UP						*netrw--*
+
+To go up a directory, press "-" or press the <cr> when atop the ../ directory
+entry in the listing.
+
+Netrw will use the command in |g:netrw_list_cmd| to perform the directory
+listing operation after changing HOSTNAME to the host specified by the
+user-provided url.  By default netrw provides the command as:
+
+	ssh HOSTNAME ls -FLa
+
+where the HOSTNAME becomes the [user@]hostname as requested by the attempt to
+read.  Naturally, the user may override this command with whatever is
+preferred.  The NetList function which implements remote directory browsing
+expects that directories will be flagged by a trailing slash.
+
+
+BROWSING							*netrw-cr*
+
+Browsing is simple: move the cursor onto a file or directory of interest.
+Hitting the <cr> (the return key) will select the file or directory.
+Directories will themselves be listed, and files will be opened using the
+protocol given in the original read request.  
+
+  CAVEAT: There are four forms of listing (see |netrw-i|).  Netrw assumes
+  that two or more spaces delimit filenames and directory names for the long
+  and wide listing formats.  Thus, if your filename or directory name has two
+  or more spaces embedded in it, or any trailing spaces, then you'll need to
+  use the "thin" format to select it.
+
+The |g:netrw_browse_split| option, which is zero by default, may be used to
+cause the opening of files to be done in a new window or tab.  When the option
+is one or two, the splitting will be taken horizontally or vertically,
+respectively.  When the option is set to three, a <cr> will cause the file
+to appear in a new tab.
+
+
+OBTAINING A FILE						*netrw-O*
+
+When browsing a remote directory, one may obtain a file under the cursor (ie.
+get a copy on your local machine, but not edit it) by pressing the O key.
+Only ftp and scp are supported for this operation (but since these two are
+available for browsing, that shouldn't be a problem).  The status bar
+will then show, on its right hand side, a message like "Obtaining filename".
+The statusline will be restored after the transfer is complete.
+
+Netrw can also "obtain" a file using the local browser.  Netrw's display
+of a directory is not necessarily the same as Vim's "current directory",
+unless |g:netrw_keepdir| is set to 0 in the user's <.vimrc>.  One may select
+a file using the local browser (by putting the cursor on it) and pressing
+"O" will then "obtain" the file; ie. copy it to Vim's current directory.
+
+Related topics:
+ * To see what the current directory is, use |:pwd|
+ * To make the currently browsed directory the current directory, see |netrw-c|
+ * To automatically make the currently browsed directory the current
+   directory, see |g:netrw_keepdir|.
+
+
+CHANGE LISTING STYLE						*netrw-i*
+
+The "i" map cycles between the thin, long, wide, and tree listing formats.
+
+The short listing format gives just the files' and directories' names.
+
+The long listing is either based on the "ls" command via ssh for remote
+directories or displays the filename, file size (in bytes), and the time and
+date of last modification for local directories.  With the long listing
+format, netrw is not able to recognize filenames which have trailing spaces.
+Use the thin listing format for such files.
+
+The wide listing format uses two or more contiguous spaces to delineate
+filenames; when using that format, netrw won't be able to recognize or use
+filenames which have two or more contiguous spaces embedded in the name or any
+trailing spaces.  The thin listing format will, however, work with such files.
+This listing format is the most compact.
+
+The tree listing format has a top directory followed by files and directories
+preceded by a "|".  One may open and close directories by pressing the <cr>
+key while atop the directory name.  There is only one tree listing buffer;
+hence, using "v" or "o" on a subdirectory will only show the same buffer,
+twice.
+
+
+MAKING A NEW DIRECTORY						*netrw-d*
+
+With the "d" map one may make a new directory either remotely (which depends
+on the global variable g:netrw_mkdir_cmd) or locally (which depends on the
+global variable g:netrw_local_mkdir).  Netrw will issue a request for the new
+directory's name.  A bare <CR> at that point will abort the making of the
+directory.  Attempts to make a local directory that already exists (as either
+a file or a directory) will be detected, reported on, and ignored.
+
+
+DELETING FILES OR DIRECTORIES		*netrw-delete* *netrw-D* *netrw-del*
+
+Deleting/removing files and directories involves moving the cursor to the
+file/directory to be deleted and pressing "D".  Directories must be empty
+first before they can be successfully removed.  If the directory is a softlink
+to a directory, then netrw will make two requests to remove the directory
+before succeeding.  Netrw will ask for confirmation before doing the
+removal(s).  You may select a range of lines with the "V" command (visual
+selection), and then pressing "D".
+
+The g:netrw_rm_cmd, g:netrw_rmf_cmd, and g:netrw_rmdir_cmd variables are used
+to control the attempts to remove files and directories.  The g:netrw_rm_cmd
+is used with files, and its default value is:
+
+	g:netrw_rm_cmd: ssh HOSTNAME rm
+
+The g:netrw_rmdir_cmd variable is used to support the removal of directories.
+Its default value is:
+
+	g:netrw_rmdir_cmd: ssh HOSTNAME rmdir
+
+If removing a directory fails with g:netrw_rmdir_cmd, netrw then will attempt
+to remove it again using the g:netrw_rmf_cmd variable.  Its default value is:
+
+	g:netrw_rmf_cmd: ssh HOSTNAME rm -f
+
+
+RENAMING FILES OR DIRECTORIES		*netrw-move* *netrw-rename* *netrw-R*
+
+Renaming/moving files and directories involves moving the cursor to the
+file/directory to be moved (renamed) and pressing "R".  You will then be
+queried for where you want the file/directory to be moved.  You may select a
+range of lines with the "V" command (visual selection), and then pressing "R".
+
+The g:netrw_rename_cmd variable is used to implement renaming.  By default its
+value is:
+
+	ssh HOSTNAME mv
+
+One may rename a block of files and directories by selecting them with
+the V (|linewise-visual|).
+
+
+HIDING FILES OR DIRECTORIES			*netrw-a* *netrw-hiding*
+
+Netrw's browsing facility allows one to use the hiding list in one of three
+ways: ignore it, hide files which match, and show only those files which
+match.  The "a" map allows the user to cycle about these three ways.
+
+The g:netrw_list_hide variable holds a comma delimited list of patterns (ex.
+\.obj) which specify the hiding list. (also see |netrw-ctrl-h|)  To set the
+hiding list, use the <c-h> map.  As an example, to hide files which begin with
+a ".", one may use the <c-h> map to set the hiding list to '^\..*' (or one may
+put let g:netrw_list_hide= '^\..*' in one's <.vimrc>).  One may then use the
+"a" key to show all files, hide matching files, or to show only the matching
+files.
+
+	Example: ^.*\.[ch]
+		This hiding list command will hide/show all *.c and *.h files.
+
+	Example: ^.*\.c,^.*\.h
+		This hiding list command will also hide/show all *.c and *.h
+		files.
+
+Don't forget to use the "a" map to select the normal/hiding/show mode you want!
+
+						*netrw-ctrl_h*
+EDIT FILE OR DIRECTORY HIDING LIST		*netrw-ctrl-h* *netrw-edithide*
+
+The "<ctrl-h>" map brings up a requestor allowing the user to change the
+file/directory hiding list.  The hiding list consists of one or more patterns
+delimited by commas.  Files and/or directories satisfying these patterns will
+either be hidden (ie. not shown) or be the only ones displayed (see
+|netrw-a|).
+
+
+BROWSING WITH A HORIZONTALLY SPLIT WINDOW		*netrw-o* *netrw-horiz*
+
+Normally one enters a file or directory using the <cr>.  However, the "o" map
+allows one to open a new window to hold the new directory listing or file.  A
+horizontal split is used.  (for vertical splitting, see |netrw-v|)
+
+Normally, the o key splits the window horizontally with the new window and
+cursor at the top.  To change to splitting the window horizontally with the
+new window and cursor at the bottom, have
+
+	let g:netrw_alto = 1
+
+in your <.vimrc>.  (also see |netrw-t| |netrw-v| |g:netrw_alto|)
+
+There is only one tree listing buffer; using "o" on a displayed subdirectory 
+will split the screen, but the same buffer will be shown twice.
+
+
+BROWSING WITH A VERTICALLY SPLIT WINDOW				*netrw-v*
+
+Normally one enters a file or directory using the <cr>.  However, the "v" map
+allows one to open a new window to hold the new directory listing or file.  A
+vertical split is used.  (for horizontal splitting, see |netrw-o|)
+
+Normally, the v key splits the window vertically with the new window and
+cursor at the left.  To change to splitting the window vertically with the new
+window and cursor at the right, have
+
+	let g:netrw_altv = 1
+
+in your <.vimrc>.  (also see: |netrw-o| |netrw-t| |g:netrw_altv|)
+
+There is only one tree listing buffer; using "v" on a displayed subdirectory 
+will split the screen, but the same buffer will be shown twice.
+
+
+BROWSING WITH A NEW TAB					*netrw-t*
+
+Normally one enters a file or directory using the <cr>.  The "t" map
+allows one to open a new window hold the new directory listing or file in a
+new tab. (also see: |netrw-o| |netrw-v|)
+
+
+PREVIEW WINDOW					*netrw-p* *netrw-preview*
+
+One may use a preview window by using the "p" key when the cursor is atop the
+desired filename to be previewed.
+
+
+PREVIOUS WINDOW					*netrw-P* *netrw-prvwin*
+
+To edit a file or directory in the previously used window (see :he |CTRL-W_P|),
+press a "P".  If there's only one window, then the one window will be
+horizontally split (above/below splitting is controlled by |g:netrw_alto|,
+and its initial size is controlled by |g:netrw_winsize|).
+
+If there's more than one window, the previous window will be re-used on
+the selected file/directory.  If the previous window's associated buffer
+has been modified, and there's only one window with that buffer, then
+the user will be asked if s/he wishes to save the buffer first (yes,
+no, or cancel).
+
+
+SELECTING SORTING STYLE				*netrw-s* *netrw-sort*
+
+One may select the sorting style by name, time, or (file) size.  The "s" map
+allows one to circulate amongst the three choices; the directory listing will
+automatically be refreshed to reflect the selected style.
+
+
+EDITING THE SORTING SEQUENCE		*netrw-S* *netrw-sortsequence*
+
+When "Sorted by" is name, one may specify priority via the sorting sequence
+(g:netrw_sort_sequence).  The sorting sequence typically prioritizes the
+name-listing by suffix, although any pattern will do.  Patterns are delimited
+by commas.  The default sorting sequence is:
+>
+	[\/]$,*,\.bak$,\.o$,\.h$,\.info$,\.swp$,\.obj$
+<
+The lone * is where all filenames not covered by one of the other patterns
+will end up.  One may change the sorting sequence by modifying the
+g:netrw_sort_sequence variable (either manually or in your <.vimrc>) or by
+using the "S" map.
+
+
+REVERSING SORTING ORDER			*netrw-r* *netrw-reverse*
+
+One may toggle between normal and reverse sorting order by pressing the
+"r" key.
+
+
+CHANGING TO A PREDECESSOR DIRECTORY		*netrw-u* *netrw-updir*
+
+Every time you change to a new directory (new for the current session),
+netrw will save the directory in a recently-visited directory history
+list (unless g:netrw_dirhistmax is zero; by default, its ten).  With the
+"u" map, one can change to an earlier directory (predecessor).  To do
+the opposite, see |netrw-U|.
+
+
+CHANGING TO A SUCCESSOR DIRECTORY		*netrw-U* *netrw-downdir*
+
+With the "U" map, one can change to a later directory (successor).
+This map is the opposite of the "u" map. (see |netrw-u|)  Use the
+q map to list both the bookmarks and history. (see |netrw-q|)
+
+						*netrw-gx*
+CUSTOMIZING BROWSING WITH A USER FUNCTION	*netrw-x* *netrw-handler*
+						(also see |netrw_filehandler|)
+
+Certain files, such as html, gif, jpeg, (word/office) doc, etc, files, are
+best seen with a special handler (ie. a tool provided with your computer).
+Netrw allows one to invoke such special handlers by: >
+
+	* when Exploring, hit the "x" key
+	* when editing, hit gx with the cursor atop the special filename
+<	  (not available if the |g:netrw_nogx| variable exists)
+
+Netrw determines which special handler by the following method:
+
+  * if |g:netrw_browsex_viewer| exists, then it will be used to attempt to
+    view files.  Examples of useful settings (place into your <.vimrc>): >
+
+	:let g:netrw_browsex_viewer= "kfmclient exec"
+<   or >
+	:let g:netrw_browsex_viewer= "gnome-open"
+<
+    If g:netrw_browsex_viewer == '-', then netrwFileHandler() will be
+    invoked first (see |netrw_filehandler|).
+
+  * for Windows 32 or 64, the url and FileProtocolHandler dlls are used.  
+  * for Gnome (with gnome-open): gnome-open is used.
+  * for KDE (with kfmclient): kfmclient is used.
+  * otherwise the netrwFileHandler plugin is used.
+
+The file's suffix is used by these various approaches to determine an
+appropriate application to use to "handle" these files.  Such things as
+OpenOffice (*.sfx), visualization (*.jpg, *.gif, etc), and PostScript (*.ps,
+*.eps) can be handled.
+
+							*netrw_filehandler*
+
+The "x" map applies a function to a file, based on its extension.  Of course,
+the handler function must exist for it to be called!
+>
+ Ex. mypgm.html   x ->
+                  NFH_html("scp://user@host/some/path/mypgm.html")
+<
+Users may write their own netrw File Handler functions to support more
+suffixes with special handling.  See <plugin/netrwFileHandlers.vim> for
+examples on how to make file handler functions.   As an example: >
+
+	" NFH_suffix(filename)
+	fun! NFH_suffix(filename)
+	..do something special with filename..
+	endfun
+<
+These functions need to be defined in some file in your .vim/plugin
+(vimfiles\plugin) directory.  Vim's function names may not have punctuation
+characters (except for the underscore) in them.  To support suffices that
+contain such characters, netrw will first convert the suffix using the
+following table: >
+
+    @ -> AT       ! -> EXCLAMATION    % -> PERCENT  
+    : -> COLON    = -> EQUAL          ? -> QUESTION 
+    , -> COMMA    - -> MINUS          ; -> SEMICOLON
+    $ -> DOLLAR   + -> PLUS           ~ -> TILDE    
+<    
+So, for example: >
+
+	file.rcs,v  ->  NFH_rcsCOMMAv()
+<
+If more such translations are necessary, please send me email: >
+		NdrOchip at ScampbellPfamily.AbizM - NOSPAM
+with a request.
+
+
+MAKING THE BROWSING DIRECTORY THE CURRENT DIRECTORY	*netrw-c* *netrw-curdir*
+
+By default, |g:netrw_keepdir| is 1.  This setting means that the current
+directory will not track the browsing directory.
+
+Setting g:netrw_keepdir to 0 tells netrw to make vim's current directory to
+track netrw's browsing directory.
+
+However, given the default setting for g:netrw_keepdir of 1 where netrw
+maintains its own separate notion of the current directory, in order to make
+the two directories the same, use the "c" map (just type c).  That map will
+set Vim's notion of the current directory to netrw's current browsing
+directory.
+
+
+BOOKMARKING A DIRECTORY		*netrw-mb* *netrw-bookmark* *netrw-bookmarks*
+One may easily "bookmark" a directory by using >
+
+	{cnt}mb
+<
+Any count may be used.  One may use viminfo's "!" option to retain bookmarks

+
+IMPROVING DIRECTORY BROWSING				*netrw-listhack*
+
+Especially with the remote directory browser, constantly entering the password
+is tedious.
+
+For Linux/Unix systems, the book "Linux Server Hacks - 100 industrial strength
+tips & tools" by Rob Flickenger (O'Reilly, ISBN 0-596-00461-3) gives a tip
+for setting up no-password ssh and scp and discusses associated security
+issues.  It used to be available at http://hacks.oreilly.com/pub/h/66 ,
+but apparently that address is now being redirected to some "hackzine".
+I'll attempt a summary:
+
+	1. Generate a public/private key pair on the ssh server:
+	   ssh-keygen -t rsa
+	   (saving the file in ~/.ssh/id_rsa is ok)
+	2. Just hit the <CR> when asked for passphrase (twice).
+	3. This creates two files:
+	     ~/.ssh/id_rsa
+	     ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
+	4. On the client:
+	    cd
+	    mkdir .ssh
+	    chmod 0700 .ssh
+	    scp {serverhostname}:.ssh/id_rsa.pub .
+	    cat id_rsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys2
+
+For Windows, folks on the vim mailing list have mentioned that Pageant helps
+with avoiding the constant need to enter the password.

+NETRW SETTINGS						*netrw-settings*
+
+With the NetrwSettings.vim plugin, >
+	:NetrwSettings
+will bring up a window with the many variables that netrw uses for its
+settings.  You may change any of their values; when you save the file, the
+settings therein will be used.  One may also press "?" on any of the lines for
+help on what each of the variables do.

+==============================================================================
+10. Problems and Fixes						*netrw-problems*
+
+	(This section is likely to grow as I get feedback)
+	(also see |netrw-debug|)
+								*netrw-p1*
+	P1. I use windows 95, and my ftp dumps four blank lines at the
+	    end of every read.
+
+		See |netrw-fixup|, and put the following into your
+		<.vimrc> file:
+
+			let g:netrw_win95ftp= 1
+
+								*netrw-p2*
+	P2. I use Windows, and my network browsing with ftp doesn't sort by
+	    time or size!  -or-  The remote system is a Windows server; why
+	    don't I get sorts by time or size?
+
+		Windows' ftp has a minimal support for ls (ie. it doesn't
+		accept sorting options).  It doesn't support the -F which
+		gives an explanatory character (ABC/ for "ABC is a directory").
+		Netrw then uses "dir" to get both its short and long listings.
+		If you think your ftp does support a full-up ls, put the
+		following into your <.vimrc>: >
+
+			let g:netrw_ftp_list_cmd    = "ls -lF"
+			let g:netrw_ftp_timelist_cmd= "ls -tlF"
+			let g:netrw_ftp_sizelist_cmd= "ls -slF"
+<
+		Alternatively, if you have cygwin on your Windows box, put
+		into your <.vimrc>: >
+
+			let g:netrw_cygwin= 1
+<
+		This problem also occurs when the remote system is Windows.
+		In this situation, the various g:netrw_ftp_[time|size]list_cmds
+		are as shown above, but the remote system will not correctly
+		modify its listing behavior.
+
+
+								*netrw-p3*
+	P3. I tried rcp://user@host/ (or protocol other than ftp) and netrw
+	    used ssh!  That wasn't what I asked for...
+
+		Netrw has two methods for browsing remote directories: ssh
+		and ftp.  Unless you specify ftp specifically, ssh is used.
+		When it comes time to do download a file (not just a directory
+		listing), netrw will use the given protocol to do so.
+
+								*netrw-p4*
+	P4. I would like long listings to be the default.
+
+			let g:netrw_liststyle= 1
+
+		Check out |netrw-browse-var| for more customizations that
+		you can set.
+
+								*netrw-p5*
+	P5. My times come up oddly in local browsing
+
+		Does your system's strftime() accept the "%c" to yield dates
+		such as "Sun Apr 27 11:49:23 1997"?  If not, do a "man strftime"
+		and find out what option should be used.  Then put it into
+		your <.vimrc>:
+			let g:netrw_timefmt= "%X"  (where X is the option)
+
+								*netrw-p6*
+	P6. I want my current directory to track my browsing.
+	    How do I do that?
+
+		let g:netrw_keepdir= 0
+	
+								*netrw-p7*
+	P7. I use Chinese (or other non-ascii) characters in my filenames, and
+	    netrw (Explore, Sexplore, Hexplore, etc) doesn't display them!
+
+		(taken from an answer provided by Wu Yongwei on the vim
+		mailing list)
+		I now see the problem. You code page is not 936, right? Vim
+		seems only able to open files with names that are valid in the
+		current code page, as are many other applications that do not
+		use the Unicode version of Windows APIs. This is an OS-related
+		issue. You should not have such problems when the system
+		locale uses UTF-8, such as modern Linux distros.
+
+		(...it is one more reason to recommend that people use utf-8!)
+
+								*netrw-p8*
+	P8. I'm getting "ssh is not executable on your system" -- what do I
+	    do?
+
+		(Dudley Fox) Most people I know use putty for windows ssh.  It
+		is a free ssh/telnet application. You can read more about it
+		here:
+
+		http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ Also:
+
+		(Marlin Unruh) This program also works for me. It's a single
+		executable, so he/she can copy it into the Windows\System32
+		folder and create a shortcut to it. 
+
+		(Dudley Fox) You might also wish to consider plink, as it
+		sounds most similar to what you are looking for. plink is an
+		application in the putty suite.
+
+           http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.58/htmldoc/Chapter7.html#plink
+
+	   	(Vissale Neang) Maybe you can try OpenSSH for windows, which
+		can be obtained from:
+
+		http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/
+
+		It doesn't need the full Cygwin package. 
+
+		(Antoine Mechelynck) For individual Unix-like programs needed
+		for work in a native-Windows environment, I recommend getting
+		them from the GnuWin32 project on sourceforge if it has them:
+
+		    http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/
+
+		Unlike Cygwin, which sets up a Unix-like virtual machine on
+		top of Windows, GnuWin32 is a rewrite of Unix utilities with
+		Windows system calls, and its programs works quite well in the
+		cmd.exe "Dos box". 
+
+		(dave) Download WinSCP and use that to connect to the server.
+		In Preferences > Editors, set gvim as your editor:
+
+			- Click "Add..."
+			- Set External Editor (adjust path as needed, include
+			  the quotes and !.! at the end):
+			    "c:\Program Files\Vim\vim70\gvim.exe" !.!
+			- Check that the filetype in the box below is
+			  {asterisk}.{asterisk} (all files), or whatever types
+			  you want (cec: change {asterisk} to * ; I had to
+			  write it that way because otherwise the helptags
+			  system thinks its a tag)
+			- Make sure its at the top of the listbox (click it,
+			  then click "Up" if its not)
+		If using the Norton Commander style, you just have to hit <F4>
+		to edit a file in a local copy of gvim.

+			5.2.4 Using public key authentication with PSCP 
+<
+		(cec) To make proper use of these suggestions above, you will
+		need to modify the following user-settable variables in your
+		.vimrc:
+
+			|g:netrw_ssh_cmd| |g:netrw_list_cmd|  |g:netrw_mkdir_cmd|
+			|g:netrw_rm_cmd|  |g:netrw_rmdir_cmd| |g:netrw_rmf_cmd|
+
+		The first one (|g:netrw_ssh_cmd|) is the most important; most
+		of the others will use the string in g:netrw_ssh_cmd by
+		default.
+						*netrw-p9* *netrw-ml_get*
+	P9. I'm browsing, changing directory, and bang!  ml_get errors
+	    appear and I have to kill vim.  Any way around this?
+
+		Normally netrw attempts to avoid writing swapfiles for
+		its temporary directory buffers.  However, on some systems
+		this attempt appears to be causing ml_get errors to
+		appear.  Please try setting |g:netrw_use_noswf| to 0
+		in your <.vimrc>: >
+			let g:netrw_use_noswf= 0
+<

+==============================================================================
+11. Debugging						*netrw-debug*
+
+The <netrw.vim> script is typically available as:
+>
+	/usr/local/share/vim/vim6x/plugin/netrw.vim
+< -or- >
+	/usr/local/share/vim/vim7x/plugin/netrw.vim
+<
+which is loaded automatically at startup (assuming :set nocp).
+
+	1. Get the <Decho.vim> script, available as:
+
+	     http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#vimlinks_scripts
+	     as "Decho, a vimL debugging aid"
+	   or
+	     http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=120
+
+	   and put it into your local plugin directory.
+
+	2. <Decho.vim> itself needs the <cecutil.vim> script, so you'll need
+	   to put it into your .vim/plugin, too.  You may obtain it from:
+
+		http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#VimFuncs
+		as "DrC's Utilities"
+
+	3. Edit the <netrw.vim> file by typing:
+
+		vim netrw.vim
+		:DechoOn
+		:wq
+
+	   To restore to normal non-debugging behavior, edit <netrw.vim>
+	   by typing
+
+		vim netrw.vim
+		:DechoOff
+		:wq
+
+	   This command, provided by <Decho.vim>, will comment out all
+	   Decho-debugging statements (Dfunc(), Dret(), Decho(), Dredir()).
+
+	4. Then bring up vim and attempt a transfer or do browsing.  A set of
+	   messages should appear concerning the steps that <netrw.vim> took
+	   in attempting to read/write your file over the network.
+
+	   To save the file, use >
+		:wincmd j
+		:set bt=
+		:w! DBG
+<	   Please send that information to <netrw.vim>'s maintainer, >
+		NdrOchip at ScampbellPfamily.AbizM - NOSPAM

+12. History						*netrw-history* {{{1
+
+	v109: Mar 26, 2007 * if a directory name includes a "$" character,
+			     Explore() will use expand() in an attempt to
+			     decipher the name.
+	      May 07, 2007 * g:netrw_use_errorwindow now allows one to
+	                     have error messages go to a reliable window
+			     or to use a less reliable but recallable 
+			     echoerr method
+	      May 07, 2007 * g:netrw_scpport and g:netrw_sshport support
+	                     use of -P and -p, respectively, to set port
+			     for scp/ssh.
+	v108: Jan 03, 2007 * included preview map (|netrw-p|), supporting
+			     remote browsing
+			   * netrw can now source remote files
+	      Jan 26, 2007 * Colton Jamieson noted that remote directory
+			     browsing did not support alternate port
+			     selection.  This feature has now been extended
+			     to apply to all remote browsing commands via ssh.
+			     (list, remove/delete, rename)
+	      Jan 31, 2007 * Luis Florit reported that @* was an invalid
+			     register.  The @* register is now only saved and
+			     restored if |'guioptions'| contains "a".
+	      Feb 02, 2007 * Fixed a bug that cropped up when writing files
+			     via scp using cygwin
+	      Feb 08, 2007 * tree listing mode managed to stop working again;
+			     fixed again!
+	      Feb 15, 2007 * Guido Van Hoecke reported that netrw didn't
+			     handle browsing well with M$ ftp servers.  He even
+			     set up a temporary account for me to test with
+			     (thanks!).  Netrw now can browse M$ ftp servers.
+	v107: Oct 12, 2006 * bypassed the autowrite option
+	      Oct 24, 2006 * handles automatic decompression of *.gz and *.bz2
+			     files
+	      Nov 03, 2006 * Explore will highlight matching files when
+			     **/pattern is used (and if the |'hls'| option
+			     is set)
+	      Nov 09, 2006 * a debugging line, when enabled, was inadvertently
+			     bringing up help instead of simply reporting on
+			     list contents
+	      Nov 21, 2006 * tree listing improved (cursor remains put)
+	      Nov 27, 2006 * fixed b:netrw_curdir bug when repeated "i"s were
+			     pressed.
+	      Dec 15, 2006 * considerable qty of changes, mostly to share more
+			     code between local and remote browsing.  Includes
+			     support for tree-style listing for both remote
+			     and local browsing.
+	      Dec 15, 2006 * Included Peter Bengtsson's modifications to
+			     support the Amiga.
+	v106: Sep 21, 2006 * removed old v:version<700 code as netrw now
+			     requires vim 7.0
+			   * worked around a bug where register * was
+			     overwritten during local browsing
+	v104: Sep 05, 2006 * as suggested by Rodolfo Borges, :Explore and
+			     variants will position the cursor on the file
+			     just having been edited
+			   * changed default |g:netrw_sort_sequence| order
+			   * changed b, Nb to simply mb  (see |netrw-mb|)
+			   * changed B, NB to simply gb  (see |netrw-gb|)
+			   * tree listing style (see |g:netrw_liststyle|)
+			   * attempts to retain the alternate file
+	v103: Jul 26, 2006 * used Yakov Lerner's tip#1289 to improve netrw
+			     error message display
+			   * wide listings didn't handle files with backslashes
+			     in their names properly.  A symptom was an
+			     inability to open files.
+	      Aug 09, 2006 * included "t" mapping for opening tabbed windows,
+			    both for remote and local browsing
+			   * changed netrw_longlist to netrw_liststyle
+	      Aug 15, 2006 * fixed one of the NB maps
+	      Aug 22, 2006 * changed *Explore commands to use -nargs=* instead
+			     of -nargs=?.  Allows both -complete=dir _and_ the
+			     starstar arguments to work (-nargs=? seems to
+			     require one or the other).
+	      Aug 23, 2006 * copied all w:.. variables across splits to
+			     new windows
+	      Aug 25, 2006 * when g:netrw_browsex_viewer was '-'
+			     (see |g:netrw_browsex_viewer|) it wasn't causing
+			     netrwFileHandlers#Invoke() to be called as it
+			     was expected to.  (tnx Steve Dugaro)
+	      Aug 29, 2006 * changed NetBrowseX() to use "setlocal ... noswf"
+			     instead of "set ... noswf"  (tnx Benji Fisher)
+	      Aug 31, 2006 * tabs and fastbrowse<=1 didn't work together.
+	v102: Jun 15, 2006 * chgd netrwPlugin to call netrw#LocalBrowseCheck()
+			   * bugfix: g:netrw_keepdir==0 had stopped working
+	      Jul 06, 2006 * bugfix: NetOptionSave/Restore now saves/restores
+			     the unnamed register (|registers|)
+	      Jul 07, 2006 * |g:netrw_menu| support included
+	      Jul 13, 2006 * :Texplore command implemented
+	      Jul 17, 2006 * NetSplit and (Local|Net)BrowseChgDir() were both
+			     splitting windows.  This affected o, v, and
+			     g:netrw_browse_split.
+	      Jul 20, 2006 * works around wildignore setting (was causing
+			     netrw's local browser not to list wildignore'd
+			     files)
+	      Jul 24, 2006 * <leftmouse> acts as a <cr> for selecting a file
+			     <rightmouse> acts as a <del> for deleting a file
+	v100: May 14, 2006 * when using Windows and shell==cmd.exe, the
+			     default for g:netrw_ignorenetrc is now 1
+			   * bugfix: unwanted ^Ms now removed
+			     (affected shell==cmd.exe - Windows)
+			   * added Bookmarks and History to the menu
+			   * an error message about non-existing
+			     w:netrw_longlist was appearing during attempts to
+			     Explore (fixed)
+			   * g:netrw_shq now available to make netrw use
+			     specified style of quotes for commands
+	     May 29, 2006  * user NFH_*() functions were inadvertently being
+			     ignored
+			   * fixed a Windows non-cygwin ftp handling problem.
+			   * hiding pattern candidate separators included some
+			     characters it shouldn't have (tnx to Osei Poku)
+	     Jun 01, 2006  * for browsing, netrw was supposed to use "dir"
+			     instead of "ls -lF" when using
+			     ftp+non-cygwin+windows.  Fixed.
+			   * an inadvertently left-in-place debugging statement
+			     was preventing use of the "x" key with browsing.
+	     Jun 05, 2006  * g:netrw_nogx available to prevent making the gx
+			     map (see |g:netrw_nogx|)
+			   * bugfix, Explore wouldn't change directory
+			     properly (vim ., :Explore subdirname)
+	     Jun 06, 2006  * moved history to 2nd line in Netrw menu
+			   * fixed delete for unix-based systems
+	     Jun 07, 2006  * x key now works for windows-noncygwin-ftp
+	     Jun 08, 2006  * Explore */pat and **//pat now wraps
+	v99: May 09, 2006  * g:netrw_browse_split=3 for opening files in new
+			     tabs implemented.
+	     May 12, 2006  * deletes temporary file at end of NetRead()
+			   * visual mode based Obtain implemented
+			   * added -complete=dir to the various Explore
+			     commands
+	v98: May 02, 2006  * the "p" key didn't work properly when the browsing
+			     directory name had spaces in it.
+	v97: May 01, 2006  * exists("&acd") now used to determine if
+			     the 'acd' option exists
+			   * "obtain" now works again under Windows
+	v96: * bugfix - the |'acd'| option is not always defined but is
+	       now bypassed only when it is
+	v95: * bugfix - Hiding mode worked correctly (don't show any file
+	       matching any of the g:netrw_hide patterns), but
+	       showing mode was showing only those files that didn't
+	       match any of the g:netrw_hide patterns.  Instead, it now
+	       shows all files that match any of the g:netrw_hide patterns
+	       (the difference between a logical and and logical or).
+	v94: * bugfix - a Decho() had a missing quote; only affects things
+	       when debugging was enabled.
+	v93: * bugfix - removed FocusGained event from causing a slow-browser
+	       refresh for Windows
+	v92: * :Explore **//pattern implemented  (**/filepattern already taken)
+	v91: * :Explore */pattern implemented
+	     * |'acd'| option bypassed
+	v90: * mark ', as suggested by Yegappan Lakshmanan, used to help
+	       guarantee entry into the jump list when appropriate.
+	     * <s-down> and <s-up> are no longer defined until a
+	       :Explore **/pattern  is used (if the user already has a map
+	       for them).  They will be defined for new browser windows
+	       from that point forward.
+	v89: * A <s-down>, <s-up>, :Nexplore, or a :Pexplore without having
+	       first done an :Explore **/pattern (see |netrw-starstar|) caused
+	       a lot of unhelpful error messages to appear
+	v88: * moved DrChip.Netrw menu to Netrw.  Now has priority 80 by
+	       default.  g:NetrwTopLvlMenu == "Netrw" and can be changed
+	       by the user to suit.  The priority is g:NetrwMenuPriority.
+	     * Changed filetype for browser displays from netrwlist to netrw.
+	v87: * bug fix -- menus were partially disappearing
+	v85: * bug fix -- missing an endif
+	     * bug fix -- handles spaces in names and directories when using
+	       ftp-based browsing
+	v83: * disabled stop-acd handling; the change in directory handling
+	       may allow acd to be used again.  Awaiting feedback.
+	     * D was refusing to delete remote files/directories in wide
+	       listing mode.
+	v81: * FocusGained also used to refresh/wipe local browser directory
+	       buffers
+	     * (bugfix) netrw was leaving [Scratch] buffers behind when the
+	       user had the "hidden" option set.  The 'hidden' option is
+	       now bypassed.
+	v80: * ShellCmdPost event used in conjunction with g:netrw_fastbrowse
+	       to refresh/wipe local browser directory buffers.
+	v79: * directories are now displayed with nowrap
+	     * (bugfix) if the column width was smaller than the largest
+	       file's name, then netrw would hang when using wide-listing
+	       mode - fixed
+	     * g:netrw_fastbrowse introduced
+	v78: * progress has been made on allowing spaces inside directory
+	       names for remote work (reading, writing, browsing).  (scp)
+	v77: * Mikolaj Machowski fixed a bug in a substitute command
+	     * g:netrw_browsex_viewer implemented
+	     * Mikolaj Machowski pointed out that gnome-open is often
+	       executable under KDE systems, although it is effectively
+	       not functional.  NetBrowseX now looks for "kicker" as 
+	       a running process to determine if KDE is actually the
+	       really running.
+	     * Explorer's O functionality was inadvertently left out.
+	       Netrw now does the same thing, but with the "P" key.
+	     * added g:netrw_browse_split option
+	     * fixed a bug where the directory contained a "." but
+	       the file didn't (was treating the dirname from "."
+	       onwards as a suffix)
+	v76: * "directory is missing" error message now restores echo
+	       highlighting
+	v75: * file://... now conforms to RFC2396 (thanks to S. Zacchiroli)
+	     * if the binary option is set, then NetWrite() will only write
+	       the whole file (line numbers don't make sense with this).
+	       Supports writing of tar and zip files.
+	v74: * bugfix (vim, then :Explore) now works
+	     * ctrl-L keeps cursor at same screen location (both local and
+	       remote browsing)
+	     * netrw now can read remote zip and tar files
+	     * Obtain now uses WinXP ftp+.netrc successfully
+	v73: * bugfix -- scp://host/path/file was getting named incorrectly
+	     * netrw detects use of earlier-than-7.0 version of vim and issues
+	       a pertinent error message.
+	     * netrwSettings.vim is now uses autoloading.  Only
+	       <netrwPlugin.vim> is needed as a pure plugin
+	       (ie. always loaded).
+	v72: * bugfix -- formerly, one could prevent the loading of netrw
+	       by "let g:loaded_netrw=1"; when autoloading became supported,
+	       this feature was lost.  It is now restored.
+	v71: * bugfix -- made some "set nomodifiable"s into setlocal variants
+	       (allows :e somenewfile  to be modifiable as usual)
+	     * NetrwSettings calls a netrw function, thereby assuring that
+	       netrw has loaded.  However, if netrw does not load for whatever
+	       reason, then NetrwSettings will now issue a warning message.
+	     * For what reason I don't recall, when wget and fetch are both
+	       not present, and an attempt to read a http://... url is made,
+	       netrw exited.  It now only returns.
+	     * When ch=1, on the second and subsequent uses of browsing Netrw
+	       would issue a blank line to clear the echo'd messages.  This
+	       caused an annoying "Hit-Enter" prompt; now a blank line message
+	       is echo'd only if &ch>1.
+	v70: * when using |netrw-O|, the "Obtaining filename" message is now
+	       shown using |hl-User9|.  If User9 has not been defined, netrw
+	       will define it.
+	v69: * Bugfix: win95/98 machines were experiencing a
+	       "E121: Undefined variable: g:netrw_win95ftp" message
+	v68: * double-click-leftmouse selects word under mouse
+	v67: * Passwords which contain blanks will now be surrounded by
+	       double-quotes automatically (Yongwei)
+	v66: * Netrw now seems to work with a few more Windows situations
+	     * O now obtains a file: remote browsing file -> local copy,
+	       locally browsing file -> current directory (see :pwd)
+	     * i now cycles between thin, long, and wide listing styles
+	     * NB and Nb are maps that are always available; corresponding
+	       B and b maps are only available when not using wide listing
+	       in order to allow them to be used for motions
+	v65: * Browser functions now use NetOptionSave/Restore; in particular,
+	       netrw now works around the report setting
+	v64: * Bugfix - browsing a "/" directory (Unix) yielded buffers 
+	       named "[Scratch]" instead of "/"
+	     * Bugfix - remote browsing with ftp was omitting the ./ and ../
+	v63: * netrw now takes advantage of autoload (and requires 7.0)
+	     * Bugfix - using r (to reverse sort) working again
+	v62: * Bugfix - spaces allowed again in directory names with
+	       g:netrw_keepdir=0.  In fact, I've tested netrw (again)
+	       with most ANSI punctuation marks for directory names.
+	     * Bugfix - NetrwSettings gave errors when g:netrw_silent
+	       had not be set.
+	v61: * document upgrade -- netrw variable-based settings all should
+	       have tags.  Supports NetrwSettings command.
+	     * several important variables are window-oriented.  Netrw has
+	       to transfer these across a window split.  See s:BufWinVars()
+	       and s:UseBufWinVars().
+	v60: * when using the i map to switch between long and short listings,
+	       netrw will now keep cursor on same line
+	     * "Match # of #" now uses status line
+	     * :Explore **/*.c  will now work from a non-netrw-browser window
+	     * :Explore **/patterns can now be run in separate browser windows
+	     * active banner (hit <cr> will cause various things to happen)
+	v59: * bugfix -- another keepalt work-around installed (for vim6.3)
+	     * "Match # of #" for Explore **/pattern matches
+	v58: * Explore and relatives can now handle **/somefilepattern (v7)
+	     * Nexplore and Pexplore introduced (v7).  shift-down and shift-up
+	       cursor keys will invoke Nexplore and Pexplore, respectively.
+	     * bug fixed with o and v
+	     * autochdir only worked around for vim when it has been
+	       compiled with either |+netbeans_intg| or |+sun_workshop|
+	     * Under Windows, all directories and files were being preceded
+	       with a "/" when local browsing.  Fixed.
+	     * When: syntax highlighting is off, laststatus=2, and remote
+	       browsing is used, sometimes the laststatus highlighting
+	       bleeds into the entire display.  Work around - do an extra
+	       redraw in that case.
+	     * Bugfix: when g:netrw_keepdir=0, due to re-use of buffers,
+	       netrw didn't change the directory when it should've
+	     * Bugfix: D and R commands work again
+	v57: * Explore and relatives can now handle RO files
+	     * reverse sort restored with vim7's sort command
+	     * g:netrw_keepdir now being used to keep the current directory
+	       unchanged as intended (sense change)
+	     * vim 6.3 still supported
+	v56: * LocalBrowse now saves autochdir setting, unsets it, and
+	       restores it before returning.
+	     * using vim's rename() instead of system + local_rename variable
+	     * avoids changing directory when g:netrw_keepdir is false
+	v55: * -bar used with :Explore :Sexplore etc to allow multiple
+	       commands to be separated by |s
+	     * browser listings now use the "nowrap" option
+	     * browser: some unuseful error messages now suppressed
+	v54: * For backwards compatibility, Explore and Sexplore have been
+	       implemented.  In addition, Hexplore and Vexplore commands
+	       are available, too.
+	     * <amatch> used instead of <afile> in the transparency
+	       support (BufReadCmd, FileReadCmd, FileWriteCmd)
+	     * ***netrw*** prepended to various error messages netrw may emit
+	     * g:netrw_port used instead of b:netrw_port for scp
+	     * any leading [:#] is removed from port numbers
+	v53: * backslashes as well as slashes placed in various patterns
+	       (ex. g:netrw_sort_sequence) to better support Windows
+	v52: * nonumber'ing now set for browsing buffers
+	     * when the hiding list hid all files, error messages ensued. Fixed
+	     * when browsing, swf is set, but directory is not set, when netrw
+	       was attempting to restore options, vim wanted to save a swapfile
+	       to a local directory using an url-style path.  Fixed
+	v51: * cygwin detection now automated (using windows and &shell is bash)
+	     * customizable browser "file" rejection patterns
+	     * directory history
+	     * :[range]w url  now supported (ie. netrw has a FileWriteCmd event)
+	     * error messages have a "Press <cr> to continue" to allow them
+	       to be seen
+	     * directory browser displays no longer bother the swapfile
+	     * u/U commands to go up and down the history stack
+	     * history stack may be saved with viminfo with its "!" option
+	     * bugfixes associated with unwanted [No Files] entries
+	v50: * directories now displayed using buftype=nofile; should keep the
+	       directory names as-is
+	     * attempts to remove empty "[No File]" buffers leftover
+	       from :file ..name.. commands
+	     * bugfix: a "caps-lock" editing difficulty left in v49 was fixed
+	     * syntax highlighting for "Showing:" the hiding list included
+	     * bookmarks can now be retained if "!" is in the viminfo option
+	v49: * will use ftp for http://.../ browsing v48:
+	     * One may use ftp to do remote host file browsing
+	     * (windows and !cygwin) remote browsing with ftp can now use
+	       the "dir" command internally to provide listings
+	     * g:netrw_keepdir now allows one to keep the initial current
+	       directory as the current directory (normally the local file
+	       browser makes the currently viewed directory the current
+	       directory)
+	     * g:netrw_alto and g:netrw_altv now support alternate placement
+	       of windows started with o or v
+	     * Nread ? and Nwrite ?  now uses echomsg (instead of echo) so
+	       :messages can repeat showing the help
+	     * bugfix: avoids problems with partial matches of directory names
+	       to prior buffers with longer names
+	     * one can suppress error messages with g:netrw_quiet ctrl-h used
+	     * instead of <Leader>h for editing hiding list one may edit the
+	     * sorting sequence with the S map now allows confirmation of
+	     * deletion with [y(es) n(o) a(ll) q(uit)] the "x" map now handles
+	     * special file viewing with:
+	       (windows) rundll32 url.dll (gnome)   gnome-open (kde)
+	       kfmclient If none of these are on the executable path, then
+	       netrwFileHandlers.vim is used.
+	     * directory bookmarking during both local and remote browsing
+	       implemented
+	     * one may view all, use the hiding list to suppress, or use the
+	       hiding list to show-only remote and local file/directory
+	       listings
+	     * improved unusual file and directory name handling preview
+	     * window support
+	v47: * now handles local directory browsing.
+	v46: * now handles remote directory browsing
+	     * g:netrw_silent (if 1) will cause all transfers to be silent
+	v45: * made the [user@]hostname:path form a bit more restrictive to
+	       better handle errors in using protocols (e.g. scp:usr@host:file
+	       was being recognized as an rcp request) v44: * changed from
+	       "rsync -a" to just "rsync"
+	     * somehow an editing error messed up the test to recognize
+	       use of the fetch method for NetRead.
+	     * more debugging statements included
+	v43: * moved "Explanation" comments to <pi_netrw.txt> help file as
+	       "Network Reference" (|netrw-ref|)
+	     * <netrw.vim> now uses Dfunc() Decho() and Dret() for debugging
+	     * removed superfluous NetRestorePosn() calls
+	v42: * now does BufReadPre and BufReadPost events on file:///* and
+	       file://localhost/* v41: * installed file:///* and
+	       file://localhost/* handling v40: * prevents redraw when a
+	       protocol error occurs so that the user may see it v39: * sftp
+	       support v38: * Now uses NetRestorePosn() calls with
+	       Nread/Nwrite commands
+	     * Temporary files now removed via bwipe! instead of bwipe
+	       (thanks to Dave Roberts) v37: * Claar's modifications which
+	       test if ftp is successful, otherwise give an error message
+	     * After a read, the alternate file was pointing to the temp file.
+	       The temp file buffer is now wiped out.
+	     * removed silent from transfer methods so user can see what's
+	       happening
