+### Document support
+
+If vim is compiled with +clientserver option, SuperCollider can retrieve the path of the current vim buffer and enable String:loadRelative.
+In debian based distributions, this option often comes with gui-enabled vim packages (vim-gtk for example).
+
+    "fileInSameFolder.scd".loadRelative;
+
+To use this feature, you also need to start vim in server mode:
+
+    vim --servername SCVIM 
+
+You can change the default server name used by SuperCollider to contact vim:
+
+    SCVim.vimServerName = "MYNAME";
+
+
 Usage
 -----
 To start open a file with the right extension :e foo.sc(d)
