Where do you use it- on console ot xterm?
In any case, there is a ":fixdel" command in vim, check out ":help fixdel".
But it can be done in a more consistent manner using keyboard configuration
and xterm translations.

That's where the confusion was. 4.5-3 doesn't have X support. 4.5-4 and later should. If you're using stable, you'll be using 4.5-3, hence the lack of X support. If you do an ldd on the vim binary in 4.5-4 or later, it _should_ come up with a dynamic link to libX11, libXaw, etc., etc. If it doesn't, it's a bug in the package.

I did not use unstable. Is vim supposed to be dynamically linked to the Xaw library? I and another user have reported that an ldd does NOT in fact show it to be dynamically linked to any X11 libraries. Is there one that has X support and one that doesn't?

Are there two different versions of vim in the debian packaging : system, one with and one without X support? There shouldn't be. Which version of vim do you have installed? When I changed the compilation procedure to configure vim with X support, I created two versions - one for 1.2 (which, at the time, was slated to use 3.1.2), and one for unstable (shortly to become 1.3). The reason for this seemingly crazy process is that my video card - a W32p revision A, VESA local bus - didn't work with 3.1.2; I'd long ago given up on it, and was using the betas. As a result, I wasn't certain vim would work properly with 3.1.2 if it were linked with the R6.1 libraries (3.1.2 was X11R6; 3.1.2D and later, R6.1; 3.2A and later are R6.3.)

On my system (pretty much stock 1.2.7), it only requires ncurses and libc5, and starts up fine without ever complaining about libXaw. I hereby delegate this problem to the more clueful... -- G.

Weird, I did an ldd on vim. The only two libs it needs are ncurses and libc. Are there two different versions of vim in the debian packaging system, one with and one without X support?

Many programs that have an X Windows mode require this, even if they also have a text mode interface. You need to install the "xlib" package. This does *not* mean you have to install X windows -- I wouldn't try running it on a 386DX20 with 8 megs anyway. The xlib package should update your /etc/ld.so.conf to include the line "/usr/X11R6/lib"; if it doesn't, use ae or one of the other small editors to do it. -- G.
