To be honest, I'm not exactly sure how Vim does this either. You can
read ":help network" for more information, although I'd think any hard
save would still have to go back to the share.

This is a Windows client/network? Are other editors (notepad) faster?

Is the page being served by the server, or are you just viewing it as
a local file set? (http:// v. file://)

I usually write some scripts/batch files to automate updating a remote
site. You can actually do this with Vim script, and make it as a
custom add-on so you can map an F12 key combination to it. If you're
having speed problems, I'd suggest creating a local cache of the
files, and use script to sync between the two.

Hmm... I can't seem to figure out a way to do this either.=20

The file tree/explorer is a feature we've wanted to improve for a long
while, but just haven't found the time to do yet. Making a completely
new one has been on the ToDo for ages. Perhaps you can motivate me to
work on it. ;)

Alt+W will pop open the window menu for a list of the files currently
open. You can then use your mouse or type a number to select.

You can also use Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab to page back and forth
through the currently open files. I usually do this if I have only two
files open, otherwise, I can't ever remember what my position is in
the list.

We're *all* Vim newbies. Hopefully, Cream makes it a little easier,
but there's only so much we can do. :))
