Is there any way to switch to a file, do some editing, then come
back to the original file?  I know that :n file2 file1   will work,
but that can get inconvenient when long paths must be typed in.

Why, of course there is!

	try:

		(edit, edit, edit, etc. file 1)

		:w		#save file 1 changes

		:e file2	#edit file2

		:e#		#edit the alternate file (file 1)

	:e XXX   edits XXX 

	:e#	 edits the alternate file

		 and you can switch back and forth.

Wonderful.
