I am an absolute gVim newbie -- I ``discovered'' Vim about two weeks ago, and if I hadn't found the Cream shortly after that, I think I couldn't get a lot out of this slightly complicated editor;).

So I haven't messed with environment variables at all neither after I had firstly installed the official Vim (+ Cream 0.27 manually), nor after I had gVim 6.2.170 + Cream 0.27 installed. Only after I experienced the noted difficulties, I read the FAQ and tried to solve the problem by setting the CREAM variable, but nothing more.

I have read meanwhile about the ``:'' commands, but I had not found a way to use them under Cream (perhaps I have to read some more documentation?).

BUT I noticed that on right-click in the buffer-windows the context-menu has the first row BLANK (i.e. from top to bottom: BLANK | Undo Paste Select all), so there seems to exist a right-click bug(?) after all:(

Good luck,
