Hello,
I am a beginning user of vim and I just tried to create a .vimrc file. It is
oke when I use 1 command but if I use two commands I get a error. Any one
knows what the problem is. I can't find it in the documentation and neither
in the example.

For ":set" and friends, omit the verb:
:set nobackup writebackup
For most commands, separate them with a | bar:
:if &tenc == "" | let &tenc = &enc | endif | set enc=utf-8
Some commands see the bar as part of their arguments, see ":help :bar".
If you still want to use another command on the same line, wrap the
first one in an ":exe[cute]" command (see ":help :exe").
In most cases though, one command per line is the way to go:
-----8< ~/.vimrc -----
set nocompatible
if has("multi_lang")
if has("unix")
language messages C
else
language messages en
endif
endif
runtime vimrc_example.vim
filetype indent off
set autowriteall nobackup writebackup
if has("wildmenu")
set wildmenu
endif
if has("gui_running")
if has("gui_gtk2")
set guifont=B&H\ LucidaTypewriter\ 12
elseif has("gui_kde")
set guifont=B&H\ LucidaTypewriter/12
elseif has("x11")
set guifont=*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-*-*-160-*-*-m-*-*
else
set guifont=Lucida_Console:h12:cDEFAULT
endif
winpos 0 0
set lines=9999 columns=9999
endif
if has("multi_byte")
if &termencoding == ""
let &termencoding = &encoding
endif
set encoding=utf-8
endif
----->8-----
etc.
Best regards,
Tony.
