Thanks for the quick reply Tim! I did a little more research based on
your help, and I found the options.txt help file. From what I
understand, to do what I want to do, I should put the following line in
my ~/.vimrc:
set viminfo='50,<1000,s100
However, this still doesn't cause vim to remember registers across
sessions. I'll save an "@ macro" in one instance of gvim, close gvim,
and then when I re-open it, I can't use that macro. Does anyone else
know if there's something I'm missing?
Thanks again!
