How to enable snipMate in Vim

[Andrew Falanga]

Hi,

So, I downloaded the snipMate extension for vim and, at least I'm
pretty sure, I unpacked it into the correct directory on my Windows
box (I'm using Vim 7.2). However, when I start vim and attempt to use
the extension, it's not working so what am I missing? Here's the URL
from vim.org for installation:

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2540

As I mentioned, I unzipped/unpacked the file to the correct location,
but it's not working. What am I missing?

Thanks,
Andy

:helptags {dir on Windows}

I don't know, but to start, execute

:scriptnames

to see the names of all the plugins that vim has sourced and
see if the snipMate.vim file appears in that list.

Thanks to both of you. I did do the ":helptags" command mentioned on
that web site and was able to pull up ":h snipmate.txt" as
instructed. So, apparently, something is correct. I'll just have to
play a bit more to see what I'm missing.
