* Added two new patches (instead of adding nb1 to the version number).
6.0.024 inserting a char with CTRL-V u 9900 may cause a crash
6.0.025 using "$" after "\v" in a regexp doesn't always work
And now I'll switch to a not-so-frequent vim patching mode, maybe once
a month is enough (although vim is almost like Linux, new patches are
needed all the time to make it stable :-)

Editing files over a network - read and write a remote file directly
command-line editing window - use any Vim command to edit an Ex command
