A little thing that I did and found quite useful:
function! OpenFileUnderCursor()
let FileName = expand("<cfile>")
let OldPath = getcwd()
silent cd %:p:h
execute "silent sp +e " . FileName
execute "silent cd " . OldPath
endfunction
map! silent <M-e> :call OpenFileUnderCursor()<CR>
Then use Alt+E on a filename to open it (relative to the directory the current file resides in).

| Hmm, ok, but is there a way to open the file in a NEW vim?
