Thank you Florian, As I am not a big Nix-er, I'll need a very calm day alone to go through with this installation. I'm sure I'll need to find and download a lot of things Vim needs. Probably I'll do what you suggested because vim's slowness really bothers me. Again, thank you, Miklos -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
