Thanks Tim. I've never edited settings for viminfo, but I've attached
my viminfo's for both 6.3 and 7. There are File marks in the viminfo
7 file, but it's not using them. Read the stuff in :help viminfo, but
am unclear on what I need to set in .vimrc to get it to use them?
Sorry...I had hoped to get a comparison of your 'viminfo'
*options*, not the contents of your viminfo files. :)
An easy way to compare them *should* be to
:let @+ = &viminfo
which will put your viminfo setting into the system clipboard.
Or if you just want to print them, you can use
:set viminfo
which will return the results.
You can then paste the results into your reply. Particularly of
interest is any bits of that option that involve an "f".
You can also check
:verbose set viminfo
on each one...perhaps something is getting misset each time, or
one is getting set differently than the other due to some plugin,
script, or subtle diff. in your vimrc file.
This might be a wild goose-chase, but it's where I'd start in
hunting down the matter. :)
