Ah la la...
The worst thing is that the only choice is going to the system wide vimrc and delete it or at least including a "finish" on top of it, which is annoying. Sometime distributors provide a system wide vimrc to make sure that other pieces of the system will work better (:?) with Vim by default. Most of the time this policy is good, but with Vim is not because you can't disable reading the system wide vimrc unless you provide command line arguments, which is annoying if you use Vim from a menu entry or something like that, and because Vim is very interoperable and configurable without any meddling... With the default configuration everything works OK (IMHO). -- Raúl "DervishD" Núñez de Arenas Coronado Linux Registered User 88736 | http://www.dervishd.net It's my PC and I'll cry if I want to...
