+" File: scratch.vim
+" Author: Yegappan Lakshmanan (yegappan AT yahoo DOT com)
+" Version: 1.0
+" Last Modified: June 3, 2003
+"
+" Overview
+" --------
+" You can use the scratch plugin to create a temporary scratch buffer to store
+" and edit text that will be discarded when you quit/exit vim. The contents
+" of the scratch buffer are not saved/stored in a file.
+"
+" Installation
+" ------------
+" 1. Copy the scratch.vim plugin to the $HOME/.vim/plugin directory. Refer to
+"    the following Vim help topics for more information about Vim plugins:
+"
+"       :help add-plugin
+"       :help add-global-plugin
+"       :help runtimepath
+"
+" 2. Restart Vim.
+"
+" Usage
+" -----
+" You can use the following command to open/edit the scratch buffer:
+"
+"       :Scratch
+"
+" To open the scratch buffer in a new split window, use the following command:
+"
+"       :Sscratch
+"
+" When you close the scratch buffer window, the buffer will retain the
+" contents. You can again edit the scratch buffer by openeing it using one of
+" the above commands. There is no need to save the scatch buffer.
+"
+" When you quit/exit Vim, the contents of the scratch buffer will be lost.
+" You will not be prompted to save the contents of the modified scratch
+" buffer.
+"
+" You can have only one scratch buffer open in a single Vim instance. If the
+" current buffer has unsaved modifications, then the scratch buffer will be
+" opened in a new window
+"
