They come from the original vi, and were used to allow users to tell vi how large a screen it was running on. With the introduction of the GUI in Vim it became possible for setting those options to change the size of the window, but they still need to be available in the non-GUI environment so people can tell Vim how much space is available to it. If you set them to values that don't match the real terminal size there's not much Vim can do about it except trust that you know what you're doing. -- Matthew Winn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
