I second the suggestion to use :set paste instead. However, your script isn't working, because there is no "enter" command sent to execute the command-line. You COULD insert a "\<CR>" at the end of your first normal command to accomplish that. But that's pointless. You're using the "execute" ex command to use the "normal" ex command that does a ":" to go into the command-line mode where you execute...ex commands. Instead of all that, why not just use "setl noai nocin nosi inde=" directly? -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
