No. This does not change the behavior.

This could be the reason. I have changed the default .vim/ftplugin/fortran.vim quite a bit and might have messed it up somewhere. > Curiously, my Vim doesn't > have a problem with opening a session and choosing the correct > highlighting, so I wonder if something in your custom ftplugin or syntax > files is preventing the distributed ftplugin file from detecting the > fortran format correctly? Is there any chance you could paste the contents > of your .vim/ftplugin/fortran.vim into an email? I think this list does not allow any attachements (my messages were not delivered when I attached the files). So I posted my .vimrc, .gvimrc, .vim/ftplugin/fortran.vim, .vim/indent/fortran.vim at http://kamaraju.googlepages.com/vim_problems . Please forgive me for not "tidying up" those configuration files. But I hope you guys wont have any trouble digging through them. Thanks for all the replies so far. raju -- http://groups.google.com/group/ask-anything/about
