I'm wondering if there's much gain to removing help docs with unc's. In putting together vim_7.1 with all docs and spellcheck, it used about 1.3 megs of ram, vs about 11 megs with a dsl extension.  

Also, I was wondering where to put an app name so that it's ubiquitous (loads from anywhere)  Thanks!

In general, it's stated that docs are to be only stripped for ramdisk dependent extension types.  Otherwise, they should be included as they may be of help to the end user.  That being said, if the docs take up a lot of space, and you want to keep the download size down, then it's probably up to your discretion.

I just figured out the problem, and created a copy of updated vim with a new name vs a link with a new name (duh !!)
edit: oh, I see...needs link in $PATH dir with non-conflicting name.

Thanks, Hats.  Now I can sleep better. (note: somebody sure put a lot of time into the vim help docs)  .
