+Using Vim with Visual Studio .Net~
+
+With .Net you no longer really need VisVim, since .Net studio has support for
+external editors.  Follow these directions:
+
+In .Net Studio choose from the menu Tools->External Tools...
+Add
+     Title     - Vim
+     Command   - c:\vim\vim63\gvim.exe
+     Arguments - --servername VS_NET --remote-silent "+call cursor($(CurLine), $(CurCol))" $(ItemPath)  
+     Init Dir  - Empty
+
+Now, when you open a file in .Net, you can choose from the .Net menu:
+Tools->Vim
+
+That will open the file in Vim.
+You can then add this external command as an icon and place it anywhere you
+like.  You might also be able to set this as your default editor.
+
+If you refine this further, please post back to the Vim maillist so we have a
+record of it.
+
+--servername VS_NET 
+This will create a new instance of vim called VS_NET.  So if you open multiple
+files from VS, they will use the same instance of Vim.  This allows you to
+have multiple copies of Vim running, but you can control which one has VS
+files in it.
