(then again, what does work with windows at all?) better use the builtin text formating with "gq". you might enjoy using CTRL-J for adjusting paragraphs: " Formatting the current paragraph according to " the current 'textwidth' with ^J (control-j): " imap <C-J> <C-O>gqap " too dangerous for my editing ;-) nmap <C-J> gqap vmap <C-J> gq NOTE: This might require adjusting of the 'comments' variable. > If there are any vi newbies who want to try this, > remember that to enter ^M you need to type, > while in the insert mode: control-v [enter] see also: ":help c_CTRL-V" Sven -- Sven [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sample Setup with lots of comments: MUTT http://www.math.fu-berlin.de/~guckes/setup/muttrc WOOF!,, MUTT http://www.math.fu-berlin.de/~guckes/setup/muttrc.forall (__/'.
