Fouad, in the future don't mail me directly and instead use one of Arabeyes' mailing-lists. For the topic noted below the 'developer' [1] list seems most appropriate.

As far as I remember you shouldn't really modify anything in the source (or at least that was the case back in 6.2 when I last looked at this) and simply opt for :set arabic. You should most certainly do :help arabic to get guidelines on what to do. > Also, if I don't use gvim, I get an error when I try to assign the > keymap=arabic. > > One more last thing, I am doing all this trying to append a string IN > ARABIC and view it on a GUI, so if you have any recommendations, I > would greatly appreciate it. I'll look into 6.3 when I get the chance (this might take a bit as I'm swamped), meanwhile do please read the manpages and help sections. If someone else on the list can chime-in, please do.
