Not sure what the other stuff is... I am using vim on feisty right now and have never seen that stuff before :) --Mike H
That's the bizarre thing. The computer I am using right now has feisty with no issue, but I also have a heavily customized .vimrc, so that could change that. Anyway, I opened /etc/vim/vimrc and changed a lot of stuff in there to make it more nice to use (incsearch and the like) and for some reason vim appears to be not sourcing the file. Does anyone know why that would be the case? -fREW
