Make sure to check whether that file exists.

You don't have to use Vim modelines in any files you make up yourself,
just use the macro commands privided anyway. Vim wouldn't find your
personal .foobarmystuff anyway.

Modelines are useful for in-file commands, and (as far as NEdit is
concerned) for little else. I like the idea in general and even wrote
a patch providing native NEdit modelines (SF#825213), but I don't
think we need a third set of cryptic commands in every file.


If you modify my macros, please let me know of any improvements you
come up with that would also apply to my versions. Also, please let me
know of any other problems you have with the patched version.

I'm not sure the latest is always on top (but hope so), watch for the
date in the filename.

Yeah, I just noticed that. I forgot to update after the latest
checkin. A new patch in on the way.
