General comments (not for a specific tip)
Automatically add Python paths to Vim path
Keep. Good tip. I have tried it, and have edited the tip to add details. --JohnBeckett 04:18, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Keep. It's not perfect, (some modules like os.path don't work) but still useful enough to keep. Carpetsmoker 07:45, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Substitute Word Under Cursor
Merge this tip into one of the following (probably 464 where the author added a "see also" to the new tip, with an acknowledgement in the edit summary that it might have been better to put the info in 464).
- 159 Keystroke Saving Substituting and Searching
- 464 Search and replace the word under the cursor
- 1501 Substitute last search
Should put a "see also" in 464 with the above list. --JohnBeckett 04:18, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Merge 464 Search and replace the word under the cursor is basicly the same. -- Carpetsmoker 09:15, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Keep? The two mysterious tips we have on Vista are a worry. I hate the idea of deleting an entire directory tree (rmdir /q /s) with no explanation. I'm pretty sure it would be better to work out exactly what the problem is and avoid it. However, perhaps we should keep this tip, with the plaintive comment I've put in it, in the hope that people who understand Vista will one day fix these tips. --JohnBeckett 04:18, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
