Where do you find this vimtips.txt with 40000 lines? I only found one with 3543 lines. I tried another file but it worked fine. Perhaps you run out of memory? Also note that text gets formatted if you put it like this. If you have 'autoformat' set the number of lines will change. -- User: I'm having problems with my text editor.
