==============================================================================
6. Ex special characters *cmdline-special*
+Note: These are special characters in the executed command line. If you want
+to insert special things while typing you can use the CTRL-R command. For
+example, "%" stands for the current file name, while CTRL-R % inserts the
+current file name right away. See |c_CTRL-R|.
+
+
In Ex commands, at places where a file name can be used, the following
characters have a special meaning. These can also be used in the expression
function expand() |expand()|.
