One thing you omit to mention is where the remaining half of the command-line is...is it clipped by the window border, or is it clipped by the screen's bottom edge? If you :let &lines = &lines - 1 does it solve the problem (for a given session)? Additionally, I presume there's an easy way to identify your session files (perhaps "*.session" as a filename scheme or something of the like). If so, once the solution is determined for one session file, the session files are just plain-text, so you can edit them all in one pass with find+xargs and then use :argdo to modify them all. -tim
