A couple ideas occur to me: 1) you have some plugin that is changing the 'ff' setting. I'd check what ":set ff?" to see what vim thinks the file should be written as. 2) you should be able to force writing as Unix format with ":w ++ff=unix 3) it's theoretically possible that FTP is transferring the file back up in ASCII rather than BIN mode. I don't mess around much with editing remote files, but if you write a copy of the file locally and it's Unix format, but becomes DOS after transferring it, I remember having FTP mung my newlines in the past. -tim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
