Many non-Windows versions of GUI-enabled Vim can also run in console
mode.
"classical" way for a script to determine whether it is being sourced
by gvim
or by Console Vim is to check has("gui_running").
Yay! Thanks for that Tony.

I don't know the answer to this one, except that it gets its
environment the
same way as any other program. If Mac is sufficiently similar to Linux
(both
are Unix-like OSes after all) non-login shells may get it from
shell-specific
files like ~/.bashrc, ~/.cshrc, etc. (For details,see the manpage for
your
shell.) (Note: Files whose names start with a dot are normally not
listed in
directory listings. Use "ls -a" (possibly with other options) to make
them
appear.)
I thought the same thing. But it does not appear to source my
.bash_profile or .bashrc.
Anyone out there got some clues...?
Thanks
Brett
If you type "echo $SHELL" (without the quotes) at the Terminal app
command-line, what is the answer?
Best regards,
Tony.

Mac Questions
Hi all,
I have just got a Macbook (switching from windows) and have downloaded
and compiled the latest version of Vim on it. It all works fine, but I
have a few questions.
1. How do I distinguish between the command line and gui versions.
Both appear to respond 'True' to has("gui"). Is there another feature
that I should be looking for.
2. Where does the gui version get its initial environment from? I want
to add some extra stuff to PATH. I know I can do this using $PATH in
the .vimrc, but I would rather do it at some global level.
Thanks for any aid,

":simalt ~x" simulates "Alt-Space x", invoking that menu, if there is
any. It is not cross-language, and, as you saw, not always
cross-platform.
The command
if has("gui_running")
set lines= columns=
endif
will enlarge the GUI screen to within one character cell of the OS
viewport.
Ordering of statements may be important:
1) set 'guifont' (which changes the character cell's pixel size)
2) set 'lines' and 'columns'
3) set '(no)equalalways', 'winheight', 'winminheight' etc. (which depend
on the Vim screen size).
Best regards,
Tony.
