Joy! vim-full is just the ticket. I can't think why it was not
installed before. Binary distributions do have drawbacks, but
generally, managing all of my programs with apt is far more effective
then muddling with source when I don't have to. Thanks for the help.
Gentoo does it quite well, and generally you don't have to modify
things and is all managed. In spite of that I am, too, a Debian user
for the same reason you stated ;-).
