Am running under cygwin, where they've updated to vim7.
One of the first problems I'm noticing is that when I edit a file,
then exit, then re-edit, I'm no longer placed back at the location
I was at when I had previously exited.
Is this a bug, or did some value not get properly updated when
we were upgraded to vim7 from vim6? I.e. do I need to change
some setting?
Thanks,

As has been repeatedly said this past week, this requires a viminfo
setting and an autocommand.
The autocommand is defined near line 70 of $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim
so if you source the latter, you should have it.
The cursor position must also be remembered in the viminfo file; for
this, you need an apostrophe with a non-zero number as one of the parts
of the 'viminfo' option. The 'nocompatible' default includes '20
For this to work, you need the required features compiled-in:
has("viminfo") and has("autocmd") must both be nonzero.
Best regards,
Tony.
