VIM tabs...

hello

i saw a tutorial in this link that explains tabbed editing with VIM.

it says:
:tabnew [filename]
:tabe [filename]


but when I try in my own computer, it says: "Not an editor command"
I connect to the Tru64 server using CRT 6.0.
what's going wrong?

Maybe you just don't have the plugin that implements commands :tabnew and :tabe ?

If you're using an version of Vim older than 7.0, you won't have access to this feature.
