Hello: I'm an old Unix user that converted to SuSE Linux five or six years ago. I have a rather simple problem that's giving me trouble so I joined the mailing list hoping to find some help.
I moved many vi .exrc set and map commands onto my SuSE 6.4 system unchanged and they worked fine, VIM version 5.6. In particular, I had a map command to break long ( > 80 char) lines at the first space in the line less than 80 chars from the beginning of the line. It looked like this: map g $80|F r This worked in Unix ond on the SuSe system. I have another box with SuSE 8.1 and VIM 6.1.150. The above incantation did not work when put into .exrc. I modified it to: map g 080 F r<CR> This almost works<S> ... but has the peculiar "feature" of counting off the first 80 characters, over multiple lines, in a file and then inserting a NL at the first space prior when editing a file ... without my invoking 'g'! In other words, when .exrc is read, it automatically invokes the command 'g'. The command does work correctly thereafter. This same map command does work correctly using vim in Knoppix 5.01 (vim 6.4.7) Anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong on SuSE 8.1? Thanks in advance. Jack Tucker [EMAIL PROTECTED]
