Ok, I tried that and I must say the new vim download pages are nice and the new aap tool does the work. However once I've run `aap install' and get a new vim in /usr/local/bin then start it up I get exactly the same behavior as before. /usr/local/vim ~/.bashrc Shows a color scheme that is not the one in ~/.vimrc there is a purple modeline and no line number, percent of file, or column number is shown on modeline. :so ~/.vimrc and my color scheme and other settings become visible. Apparently something in all the runtime mess is overwriting my ~/.vimrc. Or being read after ~/.vimrc is read. Maybe I need to insure somehow that the last file read is ~/.vimrc. But I'm guessing it is supposed to be already.
