[Zope] Trying to use Vim for remote editing with Zope

[Jean Jordaan]

Hi Michel

Thanks for the answer :)

Pretty much, yes -- all I did was to add "testing vim" to the 
docstring of an existing, working method. 

Something I have seen, is that Vim comes up showing ^M characters
(literal newlines) at the line ends of the Parameters comment block,
but not in the body of the document. I thought that this might 
confuse ftp ASCII mode ..

Yes, I've done that too!

Unfortunately I don't have years of Emacs experience, and though I 
truly long to use it, I find it an absolute Beast. Just changing the 
default font at startup has me stumped. I've asked on the emacs 
newsgroups, and got one or two obscure answers which led to 
default-frame-alist, which the emacs docs said was obsolete (changed 
to default-frame-plist) without documenting using it to specify fonts. 
I also found a bunch of threads about people flaming RedHat for 
mal-customizing the Emacs they distribute, and contributing long 
slews of elisp to unbreak things like M-x apropos, which makes me 
feel way out of my depth. I wouldn't even know if things were broken. 
That's absolutely typical for my Emacs experience. I've yet to get 
IMAP support for Gnus installed, too.
