Somebody on IRC suggested this too but all this command shows is that t_Co = 256 and no hint of where it came from. The value is definitely 8 while .vimrc is being executed but at some point after that (also after the VimEnter autocommand) it's being set to 256. -- Taylor Christopher Venable http://real.metasyntax.net:2357/ ((λ x . x x) (λ x . x x)) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
