I have used this file for years. I got laid off and rehired 10 months later. I was using it steadily for the last 10 years. Then after the 10 months it no longer works. Everything works properly in gvim but it doesn't in vim. I have the function keys programmed, I espically use f1-4. When I hit f1 the screen splits and I get a new file opened. I'm running vim 6.3 on Linux box Gvim 6.3
