to use instead of ssh for remote actions
				such as listing, file removal, etc.
				 default: ssh

 *g:netrw_suppress_gx_mesg*	=1 : browsers sometimes produce messages
				which are normally unwanted intermixed
				with the page.
				However, when using links, for example,
				those messages are what the browser produces.
				By setting this option to 0, netrw will not
				suppress browser messages.

  *g:netrw_tmpfile_escape*	=' &;'
				escape() is applied to all temporary files
				to escape these characters.

  *g:netrw_timefmt*		specify format string to vim's strftime().
				The default, "%c", is "the preferred date
				and time representation for the current
				locale" according to my manpage entry for
				strftime(); however, not all are satisfied
				with it.  Some alternatives:
				 "%a %d %b %Y %T",
				 " %a %Y-%m-%d  %I-%M-%S %p"
				 default: "%c"

  *g:netrw_use_noswf*		netrw normally avoids writing swapfiles
				for browser buffers.  However, under some
				systems this apparently is causing nasty
				ml_get errors to appear; if you're getting
				ml_get errors, try putting
				  let g:netrw_use_noswf= 0
				in your .vimrc.
				  default: 1

  *g:netrw_winsize*		specify initial size of new windows made with
				"o" (see |netrw-o|), "v" (see |netrw-v|),
				|:Hexplore| or |:Vexplore|.  The g:netrw_winsize
				is an integer describing the percentage of the
				current netrw buffer's window to be used for
				the new window.
				 If g:netrw_winsize is less than zero, then
				the absolute value of g:netrw_winsize will be
				used to specify the quantity of lines or
				columns for the new window.
				 If g:netrw_winsize is zero, then a normal
				split will be made (ie. |'equalalways'| will
				take effect, for example).
				 default: 50  (for 50%)

  *g:netrw_wiw*			=1 specifies the minimum window width to use
				when shrinking a netrw/Lexplore window
				(see |netrw-c-tab|).

  *g:netrw_xstrlen*		Controls how netrw computes string lengths,
				including multi-byte characters' string
				length. (thanks to N Weibull, T Mechelynck)
				=0: uses Vim's built-in strlen()
				=1: number of codepoints (Latin a + combining
				    circumflex is two codepoints)  (DEFAULT)
				=2: number of spacing codepoints (Latin a +
				    combining circumflex is one spacing
				    codepoint; a hard tab is one; wide and
				    narrow CJK are one each; etc.)
				=3: virtual length (counting tabs as anything
				    between 1 and |'tabstop'|, wide CJK as 2
				    rather than 1, Arabic alif as zero when
				    immediately preceded by lam, one
				    otherwise, etc)

  *g:NetrwTopLvlMenu*		This variable specifies the top level
				menu name; by default, it's "Netrw.".  If
				you wish to change this, do so in your
				.vimrc.

NETRW BROWSING AND OPTION INCOMPATIBILITIES	*netrw-incompatible* {{{2

Netrw has been designed to handle user options by saving them, setting the
options to something that's compatible with netrw's needs, and then restoring
them.  However, the autochdir option: >
	:set acd
is problematic.  Autochdir sets the current directory to that containing the
file you edit; this apparently also applies to directories.  In other words,
autochdir sets the current directory to that containing the "file" (even if
that "file" is itself a directory).

NETRW SETTINGS WINDOW				*netrw-settings-window* {{{2

With the NetrwSettings.vim plugin, >
	:NetrwSettings
will bring up a window with the many variables that netrw uses for its
settings.  You may change any of their values; when you save the file, the
settings therein will be used.  One may also press "?" on any of the lines for
help on what each of the variables do.
