Thank you for the suggestion. At first I thought that worked, statusline, linenr, incsearch now all work. But then I tried to turn on/off syntax highlighting and got an error message: E185: Cannot find color scheme mine If I use a .gvimrc for the gui highlight commands, all my colors work. Ah but for one glitch, if I toggle syntax highlight (which works), the linenr and statusline change to something else (not mine). None of this happens on MacOS gui vim-app, Linux gvim, WinXP gvim, MacOS terminal vim, or Linux terminal vim. Bill -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist. Do not top-post!
