I'm sorry for being disrespectful. I did misunderstand your question, in part because the latest development version of Vim behaves just as you want and with all the discussion of Vim 7.3, I forgot that not everyone on this list is using it. I've had no serious problems with the 7.3 beta, so you could upgrade to that, or wait for the official release of 7.3. Regards, Gary -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
