I wouldn't expect that to work. There is no defined loaded buffer when the -u vimrc is run. 'readonly' is local to buffers only, so in your example, it has no buffer to be applied to.
If you want everything to be readonly, try setting a BufEnter autocommand. If you want just one file to be readonly, try setting the mode line. Also consider: gvimd -c 'so .vimtest' .vimtest On 5/23/06, Zdenek Sekera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
create a file ~/.vimtest as follows: cat > .vimtest set nocompatible set readonly <C-D> and execute (g)vim: vim .vimtest -u .vimtest try :set readonly? and you'll get 'noreadonly'. Looks strange at the minimum, bug? ---Zdenek
