This works!  Thanks, so much.  I tried it first in my own .vimrc file 
then I put it in the system file.

I have been reviewing the vim help on "events."  Actually seeing this 
really helped a lot.

Now I am wondering why BufReadPre and FileReadPre work but BufWrite does 
not.  BufWrite is supposed to apply before writing, but there must be 
some kind of delay operating that is preventing this. Anyhow, you got it 
working for me and I appreciate it.
