Sorry for the off topic.
I have nothing against Linux at all.(I'm using it as my standard
operating system).
But I must admit that Windows and MacOS are far ahead from Linux in
the graphics area. The X server is somehow not worthy to compare with
the graphic environments of the other two.
OpenOffice is usable and has a lot of futures but it just looks bad.
Free Software is in the most cases not as good as proprietary,
especially when the X server is involved.
Exceptions:

So stay realistic, you are not aware of if and how much Mingw is
better then Microsoft's compiler.

Re: meta offtopic: UTF-8/vim/mutt/mrxvt
Hi, you can look at this manual here: http://wiki.mutt.org/?MuttFaq/Charset I think it is your terminal or your locale settings. It didn't work for me with normal xterm so I had to use uxterm. You can try if it works for you too. Secondly, some email clients don't set the charset correctly. Mutt has to guess it, so may be you have to set: set config_charset=utf-8 in your .muttrc But read the wiki and the manual it is explained more detailed there. Some text for testing: Jede Frau möchte lieber schön als klug sein, weil es so viele dumme Männer gibt und so wenig blinde. Françoise Rosay, französische Schauspielerin and translated in Cyrillic: Всяка жена иска по-добре да е красива отколкото умна, защтото има толкова много глупави мъже и толкова малко слепи.

mapping for jumping to a tag
Hello,
I have a small question here, hope someone helps.
I have the following mapping in my .vimrc:
nmap :exe "tag ". expand("")
As you see I use ctrl-j to jump to a tag because on a German keyboard
for doing ctrl-] I have to break my fingers and press ctrl-altgr-9.
The mapping works fine for normal files but I cannot use it for the
vim help. The error I get there is:
E21: Cannot make changes, 'modifiable' is off
But ctrl-] works also in help files. I also tried to map c-j to c-]
but it also didn't work. Can someone help?
Thanks,
Dimitar

search() in vim7
Hello,
I wanted to ask if something changed in the search() function in vim7
I have a script that uses search('.') The problem is when search('.') is
called from this script I lose the search I have done with /
Has anyone an idea?
Onemore question: Is it possible in vim7 to have the tablne to the right or at
the bottom? I don't like it when it is above.
Thanks for the answers

***SPAM*** winmanager vim7
Hi there,
I find the winmanager a pretty useful plug-in.
I think there is a bug in it that makes me lose my
last search pattern.
How I reproduce it:
Open gvim, open a file and search for something. Open
the winmanager :WManager. Split "sp ." Close the
winmanager and reopen it. Browse trough the directories.
The search pattern is lost. When I press n to find
the next match I get E486: Pattern not found
^\d{3}\/.
Im using gvim7.0d netrw v86 and the last version from
winmanager
I have no idea why it happens. Can somebody reproduce
it?
Regards Dimitar
