'which vim' shows as /usr/local/bin for both myself and root -- the :ver text indicates the same -- i have no reason to think they are different, and i know they both use the same .vimrc and .gvimrc -- the ones on /root are symbolic links to the ones on my home path -- further, :scriptnames shows the same set of scripts loaded for both myself and root (with menu.vim prominently mentioned) not sure if it's related, but :ver shows a huge version with GTK2-GNOME (not GNOME2) -- i still find it weird that i don't get a menu and root does -- scott
