I think this is the best way to solve this. If you edit and
compile plainTeX files once for a time, it is better to use
some mapping that edit the ${HOME}/.vimrc and there comment
or uncomment some lines.

For fifty:fifty usage of plainTeX and LaTeX maybe modeline
option can help:

----- begin (part of .vimrc) -----

" check three line for commands in each file
set modeline modelines=3

----- end (part of .vimrc) -----

I can image that I use often some files either in plain-
either in La- and their first (or last) [N] lines are next:

% vim:set let g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi = 'latex -src-specials -interaction=nonstopmode $*'

and similarly with tex program.

I use latex-suite for a quite long time (I am very satisfied
with it :) and also vim, but I don't know other way how to
solve this.

Have a nice day, Milan
