PLEASE, no apologies! I can speak only this one language, so I have
only admiration for others who have learned more than one.

This one troubles me, Cream shouldn't have any problem setting path
when using the default installation. I know we're working on a bug
when your $CREAM path is set, but I'd like to figure out why it fails
when it isn't.

Do you have an environmental variable %VIMINIT% set? How about %VIM%?
What is the output of ":echo $VIM" and ":echo $VIMRUNTIME" from within
Vim?

(Do these requests make sense? I don't remember if you said you've
used Vim before--if the command line entries, beginning with ":",
don't make sense, let me know.)

These two are explained by the bug I think we've found fixed by...

Please make sure your new line 48 is blank, and doesn't include the
line 48 from the unpatched version above. There should be no
references to the variable "creamfix" remaining.

Should be ok if line 48 is blank.

Good, hopefully this is resolved.

I think we almost have one bug resolved, but I hope we can figure out
why #1 doesn't work.
