Maybe you are using a shell alias/wrapper script and not aware of it? Check `which vim` and make sure that 'vim' is not an alias for 'vim -u /non/exsistant/vimrc' or 'vim -C' or something like that. If 'vim' is an executable in your path, check if it's really the binary and not a shell script wrapper. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
