First of all, ":set wrap" only wraps _visually_, which explains why it wraps to your terminal. If you have column display turned on, what does it say in the bottom right? > My .vimrc has some crazy stuff in it, but nothing that wacky that it > shouldn't see and obey line 104 ... as you can see, I stopped manually > breaking at ~72. Also, I forgot to mention that "l" is an option to ":set formatoptions"; my bad. However, what you said leads me to suspect that somewhere in your .vimrc, you're doing ":set formatoptions+=l". Look for that, or similar. Tim -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
