Hello, I have recently installed VIM 7.0 on my computer which has Windows Vista and every time I try to edit a text file with VIM it opens a blank file with the following message on the bottom of the screen: -C [New File] Please let me know of how to overcome this problem so that I can edit files properly with VIM. I have used the default _vimrc file which is attached with this email as a text file.
Hope to hear from you soon, Many thanks, Al ____________________________________________________________________________________ Don't pick lemons. See all the new 2007 cars at Yahoo! Autos. http://autos.yahoo.com/new_cars.html
