[Vim] Sex or Ex

Ooooh racy title eh? Sex is a vim command that stands for Split Explorer. What it does is split your gvim screen and displays a file explorer in the new window. You can then double click on the file you wish to open and it will be opened on the same window. Ex (take note of the uppercase E) is merely an explorer. It displays the explorer in the same window. You can then select the file you want to open. The file you are editing prior to the Ex command would be in a different buffer. Type :buffers if you want to see the buffer number it went to.
