Is it the case that the .gvimrc is sourced only once upon starting
MacVim? I now know what is my issue.
Normally in this modern age ;), one would have "let
fortran_free_source=1" in their .gvimrc file.  If one was to get fancy
(hey...fortran is to a modern language ;)), then one would comment out
the quoted above and instead use:
"or comment-out the above and uncomment this:
let s:extfname = expand("%:e") " .f90 wil be free, .f fixed
if s:extfname ==? "f90"
  let fortran_free_source=1
elseif s:extfname ==? "F90"
  let fortran_free_source=1
else
  unlet! fortran_free_source
endif

and free form would be selected because of file extension, and all
excluded would be considered fixed form.  Now, if one starts with
"macvim <foo>.f90", then all further opened files will be opened with
"let fortran_free_source=1".  But, if one starts "macvim <bar>.f" it
is properly highlighted as fixed form fortran, but if I open a new tab
for <foo>.f90, MacVim is still using "unlet fortran_free_source", and
thus is incorrectly highlighted.

So, how do get the .vimrc or .gvimrc source with every new tab?  Also,
can I get an explanation for the different purposes for .vimrc
and .gvimrc?

Thanks so much for making MacVim what it is,
