###Q. 4. "Can't read file C:\TEMP\VIO44.TMP" when calling boxes from vim ###Q. 4. "Can't read file C:\TEMP\VIO44.TMP" when calling boxes from vim
**Answer:** On Windows, this error message may appear instead of a box when *boxes* is called from vim. This is not a problem of *boxes*. In fact, it's a misleading message from the vim editor which is supposed to tell you that *boxes* is not in your PATH. Solution: Copy *boxes.exe* and *boxes.cfg* to a directory which is in your PATH.
