It makes no distinction between a full video-screen of file or just a few lines' worth. If you want to display only the contents of the file, you'd have to use a line-based editor such as 'ed'. As for any "alternate screen", that's an X thing, unrelated to 'vim'. Can't help ya there. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
