Hi 1. For the backup creation problem, I did :verbose set backup? writebackup? as suggested. It showed that it was last read by
source $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim In that file, it set "set backup", so I was facing the problem. I changed that and the issue was resolved. 2. For the omni-completion, I inserted the commands: filetype plugin on filetype plugin indent on and then with the help of filetype-plugins, I could see the drop down box for completion. Thanks for the great help. Happy Vimming :) Regards Ankur Jain On 6/7/06, A.J.Mechelynck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Then you need a filetype whose filetype-plugin supports omni-completion. Several of them are shown under ":help compl-omni-filetypes". Or you could see them all by doing :help ft-*-omni<Ctrl-D> And finally you trigger omni-completion by using Ctrl-X Ctrl-O in Insert mode at a point in the text where there is something that the plugin knows how to complete. Note that if there is only one possible completion (as after </ in HTML, for instance) autocompletion will happen without a menu. HTH, Tony.
