I've been testing a lot more with various term settings and ansi works fine except that the console isn't restored after :quitting. It looks like my vim isn't using the altscreen with ansi. Is there a way of getting both to work together? I've tried setting t_ti and t_te to the codes that they show when altscreen is used, but it made no difference. -- Dave The First Commandment for Technicians: Beware the lightening that lurketh in the undischarged capacitor, lest it cause thee to bounce upon thy buttocks in a most untechnician-like manner. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
