Actually, if I run vi (not vim), I definitely don't want a 'full-featured' vim (modeline exploits etc), and expect vim to run in 'compatible mode' (or whatever vi implementation is the default on my system). (my shell config aliases vi to vim, if it's available, but only as a normal user) Setting the defaults in /etc/vim/vimrc is, in my opinion, not 'the right way', it's what ~/.vimrc is for. And, just out of curiosity, does vim.tiny parse ~/.vimrc, or does it (only?) look at ~/.vimrc.tiny as well? Regards, Peter Palm
