You will want to set this in a vimrc (/etc/vim/vimrc, /etc/vimrc, ~/.vimrc) set laststatus=2 That will always show the filename. As for the aspell thing ... I believe if it is not already installed on the system apt-get install aspell should do it. Try which aspell to make sure you don't already have it. And on another note, you might want to look at vimspell : http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=465 And you can actually set it up to do on the fly spell checking. > Even with the vim editor as it is now I can edit .c files and can check > the c programs thus created and check their syntax and get simple c > programs working.
