@@ -420,57 +420,79 @@ Rationale:
 A Vim package is a directory that contains one or more plugins.  The
 advantages over normal plugins:
 - A package can be downloaded as an archive and unpacked in its own directory.
-  That makes it easy to updated and/or remove.
+  Thus the files are not mixed with files of other plugins.  That makes it
+  easy to update and remove.
 - A package can be a git, mercurial, etc. repository.  That makes it really
   easy to update.
 - A package can contain multiple plugins that depend on each other.
 - A package can contain plugins that are automatically loaded on startup and
-  ones that are only loaded when needed with `:loadplugin`.
+  ones that are only loaded when needed with `:packadd`.
+
+
+Using a package and loading automatically ~
 
 Let's assume your Vim files are in the "~/.vim" directory and you want to add a
-package from a zip archive "/tmp/mypack.zip":
-	% mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/my
-	% cd ~/.vim/pack/my
-	% unzip /tmp/mypack.zip
+package from a zip archive "/tmp/foopack.zip":
+	% mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/foo
+	% cd ~/.vim/pack/foo
+	% unzip /tmp/foopack.zip
 
-The directory name "my" is arbitrary, you can pick anything you like.
+The directory name "foo" is arbitrary, you can pick anything you like.
 
 You would now have these files under ~/.vim:
-	pack/my/README.txt
-	pack/my/ever/always/plugin/always.vim
-	pack/my/ever/always/syntax/always.vim
-	pack/my/opt/mydebug/plugin/debugger.vim
+	pack/foo/README.txt
+	pack/foo/ever/foobar/plugin/foo.vim
+	pack/foo/ever/foobar/syntax/some.vim
+	pack/foo/opt/foodebug/plugin/debugger.vim
+
+When Vim starts up, after processing your .vimrc, it scans all directories in
+'packpath' for plugins under the "pack/*/ever" directory and loads them.  The
+directory is added to 'runtimepath'.
+
+In the example Vim will find "pack/foo/ever/foobar/plugin/foo.vim" and adds 
+"~/.vim/pack/foo/ever/foobar" to 'runtimepath'.
+
+If the "foobar" plugin kicks in and sets the 'filetype' to "some", Vim will
+find the syntax/some.vim file, because its directory is in 'runtimepath'.
+
+Vim will also load ftdetect files, if there are any.
+
+Note that the files under "pack/foo/opt" or not loaded automatically, only the
+ones under "pack/foo/ever".  See |pack-add| below for how the "opt" directory
+is used.
+
+Loading packages will not happen if loading plugins is disabled, see
+|load-plugins|.
+
+
+Using a single plugin and loading it automatically ~
 
 If you don't have a package but a single plugin, you need to create the extra
 directory level:
-	% mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/my/ever/always
-	% cd ~/.vim/pack/my/ever/always
-	% unzip /tmp/myplugin.zip
-
-When Vim starts up it scans all directories in 'packpath' for plugins under the
-"ever" directory and loads them.  When found that directory is added to
-'runtimepath'.
+	% mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/foo/ever/foobar
+	% cd ~/.vim/pack/foo/ever/foobar
+	% unzip /tmp/someplugin.zip
 
-In the example Vim will find "my/ever/always/plugin/always.vim" and adds 
-"~/.vim/pack/my/ever/always" to 'runtimepath'.
+You would now have these files:
+	pack/foo/ever/foobar/plugin/foo.vim
+	pack/foo/ever/foobar/syntax/some.vim
 
-If the "always" plugin kicks in and sets the 'filetype' to "always", Vim will
-find the syntax/always.vim file, because its directory is in 'runtimepath'.
+From here it works like above.
 
-Vim will also load ftdetect files, like with |:packadd|.
 
+Optional plugins ~
 							*pack-add*
 To load an optional plugin from a pack use the `:packadd` command: >
-	:packadd mydebug
-This could be done inside always.vim, if some conditions are met.
-Or you could add this command to your |.vimrc|.
+	:packadd foodebug
+This searches for "pack/*/opt/foodebug" in 'packpath' and will find
+~/.vim/pack/foo/opt/foodebug/plugin/debugger.vim and source it.
+
+This could be done inside always.vim, if some conditions are met.  Or you
+could add this command to your |.vimrc|.
 
 It is perfectly normal for a package to only have files in the "opt"
 directory.  You then need to load each plugin when you want to use it.

 Problem with 'ts' set to 9 and 'showbreak' to ">>>". (Matthew Winn, 2007 Oct

     currently.  This is very obvious on a 66Mhz 486.
 
 
-MSDOS/DJGPP:
-9   Pressing CTRL-C often crashes the console Vim runs in. (Ken Liao)
-    When 'bioskey' isn't set it doesn't happen.  Could be a problem with the
-    BIOS emulation of the console.  Version 5.6 already had this problem.
-8   DJGPP: "cd c:" can take us to a directory that no longer exists.
-    change_drive() doesn't check this.  How to check for this error?
-9   The 16 bit version runs out of memory very quickly.  Should find unused
-    code and reduce static data.  Resetting 'writebackup' helps to be able to
-    write a file.
-9   Crash when running on Windows 98 in a console window and pressing CTRL-C.
-    Happens now and then.  When debugging Vim in gdb this also happens.  Since
-    the console crashes, might be a bug in the DOS console.  Resetting
-    'bioskey' avoids it, but then CTRL-C doesn't work.
-9   DOS: Make CTRL-Fx and ALT-Fx work.
-    CTRL-F1 = CE-5E, CTRL-F2 = CE-5F, .., CTRL-F10 = CE-67
-    ALT-F1 = CE-68, ALT-F2 = CE-69, .., ALT-F10 = CE-71
-    Shifted cursor keys produce same codes as unshifted keys.  Use bioskey(2)
-    to get modifier mask for <S-C-M-Fx>.
-    Use K_SPECIAL/KS_MODIFIER codes to insert modifier mask in input stream?
-    Make this work like in Win32 console.
-    Mapping things like <M-A> doesn't work, because it generates an extended
-    key code.  Use a translation table?
-9   Can't read an opened swap file when the "share" command has not been used.
-    At least ignore the swap files that Vim has opened itself.
-8   Use DJGPP 2.03.
-8   The Dos32 version (DJGPP) can't use long file names on Windows NT.
-    Check if new package can be used (v2misc/ntlfn08[bs].zip).
-8   setlocale() is bogus.
-8   Vim busy waits for new characters or mouse clicks.	Should put in some
-    sort of sleep, to avoid eating 50% of the CPU time.  Test on an unpatched
-    Windows 95 system!
-8   DJGPP: when shell is bash, make fails. (Donahoe)
-7   Hitting CTRL-P twice quickly (e.g., in keyword completion) on a 8088
-    machine, starts printer echo! (John Mullin).
-7   MSDOS 16 bit version can't work with COMSPEC that has an argument, e.g.:
-    COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM /E:4096    (Bradley)
-    Caused by BCC system() function (Borland "make" has the same problem).
-8   Mouse: handle left&right button pressed as middle button pressed.  Add
-    modifier keys shift, ctrl and alt.
-7   When too many files are open (depends on FILES), strange things happen.
-    The Dos16 version runs out of memory, in the Dos32 version "!ls" causes a
-    crash.  Another symptom: .swp files are not deleted, existing files are
-    "[New file]".
-7   DJGPP version doesn't work with graphics display mode.  Switch to a mode
-    that is supported?
-8   DJGPP: ":mode" doesn't work for many modes.  Disable them.
-8   DJGPP: When starting in Ex mode, shouldn't clear the screen. (Walter
-    Briscoe)
-
-
-MSDOS, OS/2 and Win32:
-8   OS/2: Add backtick expansion.  Undefine NO_EXPANDPATH and use
-    gen_expand_wildcards().
-8   OS/2: Add clipboard support?  See example clipbrd.exe from Alexander
-    Wagner.
-8   OS/2: Add Extended Attributes support and define HAVE_ACL.
-8   OS/2: When editing a file name "foo.txt" that is actually called FOO.txt,
-    writing uses "foo.txt".  Should obtain the real file name.
+Win32 console:
 8   Should $USERPROFILE be preferred above $HOMEDRIVE/$HOMEPATH?  No, but it's
     a good fallback, thus use:
 	    $HOME
