This is not (exactly) a vim issue but man pager's (typically 'less') one. Gvim isn't terminal application and you probably did'nt call it from terminal but from some Gui menu, icon or "command-line popup" which aren't terminals and doesn't export any value for TERM environment variable. less reads this value to ensure that terminal is fully functional and fails to comatibility mode when not recognize the TERM value. Did you try to run gvim from terminal and try again? In any case, you could avoid this problem by specifying TERM value in command line or setting this environment variable from within vim (I don't know, but must be possible). Fore example: :!TERM=xterm man ls -- Joan Miquel Torres__________________________________ Linux Registered User #164872 http://www.mallorcaweb.net/joanmiquel BULMA: http://bulma.net http://breu.bulma.net/?l2301 -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
