Interestingly with the cursor in a LaTeX window ":set verbose
formatoptions" does not tell me where the formatoptions are set.. and I
also get a verbose=0 and no clue as to where they are set.

But what's a lot more interesting - to me at least - is that I am now
unable to reproduce the problem.  But then, please keep in mind that I
was struggling with Vim keymaps (that wasn't too hard) but also
non-ASCII rendering in LaTeX.. (and that was an absolute b*tch..) at the
time.. so serendipity allowing - and my ingenuity.. while I was going
through this lenghty trial and error process.. I may have done some very
strange things that I do not remember and that I do not remember. 

So I think I have already used up enough of your time for what is
either some subtle - or not so subtle - "feature" of the Vim/LaTeX
add-on stuff and should just keep an eye open for possible
reoccurrences.  If I find something useful, I will update the thread..
or start a new one..  maybe to find out that this was a known bug
with this older release and has long since been fixed.

Thanks.  As it happens, Vim is just about the only application I have
left on this system that was not compiled from source.  I absolutely
needed features that were not built into the packages available for
debian stable and I was never able to figure out how to build .deb's
from source.

As long as I don't have to upgrade libraries, I guess I should give Vim
7.0 a try at some point.

Avoid words such as "coeur".. "boeuf".. etc.  Rather amazing that the
French who are so picky about anything that concerns their language
never came up with a codepage.. or whatever it's called that features
this particular character.  

Thanks
