Hello Gustin, I did as you suggested and added
set cindent set tw=72 and in addtion did set bs=2 so the three lines I added to vimrc in Suse were as in the order they appear here in the vimrc file: set bs=2 set cindent set tw=72 And Yes, I use the vim editor to edit c programs. After adding those three lines vim acts the way that I want it to act except for keeping a copy of the file name visible while in insert mode. Thanks for all the help! Now the vim editor is perfectly usable in both zenwalk and Suse. It would just be the icing on the cake to keep the file name visible somewhere on the screen while I am editing the file in insert mode.
