Thanks.

Windows Users: XP doesn't normally allow you to create filenames
starting with a "." character. But if you go into DOS, you can rename
your resource file to ".vimperatorrc" and everything works perfectly.

P.S. I installed Vimperator on a lark but it's quickly become an
essential extension. It unifies the two programs I spend the bulk of
my time in. Can't imagine living without it now.
