Thanks Tim. I've never edited settings for viminfo, but I've attached
my viminfo's for both 6.3 and 7. There are File marks in the viminfo
7 file, but it's not using them. Read the stuff in :help viminfo, but
am unclear on what I need to set in .vimrc to get it to use them?
Any help is appreicated,
Kevin
If your 'viminfo' option includes the required setting, then maybe you
aren't restoring the cursor at the BufReadPost autocommand. The
necessary autocommand is included in the vimrc_example, so if your vimrc
includes
source $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim
it should restore the cursor to its last position (unless you have
edited so many other files since then that the file has been bumped out
of history).
See
:help 'viminfo'
with the single quotes
Note also that if the viminfo feature hasn't been compiled-in, it won't
work. To check it, use
:echo has("viminfo")
The reply should be non-zero (normally 1).
HTH,
Tony.
