Comment #6 on issue 152 by [email protected]: 7.4a.24 BETA can't remove
lines

It seems that you run in 'compatible' mode.This could be due to the lack of
a vimrc.
I suggest the following:
1. Start Vim.
2. In Normal mode, type
:e ~/.vimrc
followed by Enter.While you're typing that, it should appear at the very
bottom of the Vim screen.
3. In that new file, enter the following lines (in Insert mode):
" Vim configuration file
runtime vimrc_example.vim
" user customizations come here
set showmode
4. Go back to Normal mode, then exit with saving:
:x
That's all.The vimrc_example.vim includes
set backspace=indent,eol,start
so you don't need to repeat that one. The next time you start Vim, it
should let you backspace over a linebreak while in Insert mode, and
--INSERT-- --REPLACE-- --VISUAL-- etc.should appear at the bottom when you
aren't in Normal mode.
Best regards,
Tony.
