Check that you have option 'viminfo properly set
(:help 'vimnifo') in your vimrc; and check that you have
following in your vimrc:
autocmd BufReadPost *
\ if line("'\"") > 0 && line("'\"") <= line("$") |
\ exe "normal g`\"" |
\ endif

Yakov,
Perfect! Thank you so much for spelling this out. One of the other
list members
alluded to this solution, but I couldn't quite put it all together (I am
a new
vim user) until your email arrived.
Thanks again,
Fletcher
Well, the solution to which I alluded includes this implicitly by having the
line
source $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim
near the top of your vimrc.
Best regards,
Tony.
