Good idea, let's say someone got up and ported vim to some other architecture - would the changes be merged into the source tree or not? I don't have the $$$ for the devices you mention below. Any why havent the existing ports (say to win ce) been merged into the source tree (but pick some other

I don't know if I am in error, but ':set lines=999 columns=999' from .vimrc does not work for me under KDE 3.5. It works in ex mode, after everything is loaded, but not from the .vimrc file (and yes I am using gvim). There are also some notable strange effects: au GUIEnter * set lines=999
