Firstly, welcome aboard.  Have a look in your Vim directory
./runtime/if_ecl.lisp, the CHANGE-TO-BUFFER function ought to be in
there.  If it isn't, then I suspect you somehow have an old Vim.
Please note that only Vim7 is supported now (Larry, maybe we can hide
the Vim6.4 branch?)

As to the exec "ecl ..." with my hard coded path - that is an
oversight on my part an will be fixed in the near future.  For now
you've done exactly the right thing by changing it.

Cheers
