You mean you had to break things to make them work the way you wanted them to, right? I don't think fBSD has come to the great "backspace has been fscked up all these years" realization yet. A backspace in an xterm should "just work". What vim does or does not do with it should also "just work", dependent on what you're telling it to do in your ~/.vimrc. By default it works just fine. > Now I have a problem. In a lot of files, I am using: > # vim: set syntax=exim: Two things. One, Debian's vim doesn't enable modelines by default... does your preferred configuration? And did you bring a syntax file for exim along? I don't remember whether vim distributes one. -- Marc Wilson | Yow! Am I in Milwaukee? [EMAIL PROTECTED] | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
