A newer netrw plugin should fix this.
Hmm, it's actually difficult to find. Here it is:

I downloaded the recommended plug-in and copied it to the plug-in directory in the MacVim package but am still running into the same problem. (I renamed the plugin from .vba to .vim... i assume thats correct). Any other thoughts?

Thanks,

Phil

.vba means it is a vimball, a kind of vim script installer.

You’ll have to download and install vimball first:
