Thanks. Thus only when ~/.vimrc does not exist then ~/.vim/vimrc will
be used. That should work for places where a new Vim is installed. For
older Vim versions one would have to create a ~/.vimrc file that sources

I don't understand. If you have an older Vim version, the user is
already using ~/.vimrc and that Vim will never look for
~/.vim/vimrc.

Precisely. If you want to keep your vimrc under ~/.vim/ (unix) or
~/vimfiles/ (Windows) and use it even with older versions of Vim, you
will need to source it from a vimrc placed at the usual place. Note that
Unix Vim wil search for ~/_vimrc if it doesn't find ~/.vimrc, and
Windows Vim will search for ~/.vimrc and $VIM/_vimrc (and maybe even
$VIM/.vimrc) if it doesn't find ~/_vimrc. This is your "user" vimrc, it
is searched for after the "system" vimrc, which has neither . nor _ in
its name, and is by default at $VIM/vimrc, but often at /etc/vimrc in
versions of Vim shipped with Linux distributions.
Best regards,
Tony.
