Hi, The :set lines=99999 columns=99999 does not really maxmize the Vim window. Since there's still borders for the window, a maximized window have no borders (AFAIK this is true for WinXP and KDE).
Since you are highly unlikely to use a Windows version other than English and Chinese. The following method works: if has("gui_win32") " NT Windows autocmd GUIEnter * :simalt ~x endif Tony think the method is non-portable, that is true, if there's a portable way to do the job, I will prefer the portable way. However, the :set lines=99999 columns=99999 cannot do the same job as the :simalt can do, so their must be a compromize. I would recommend the ":simalt" way until there is a nature way for vim to cope with that. -- Sincerely, Pan, Shi Zhu. ext: 2606 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 2007-02-05 07:26:38: > Hi, everyone: > I am now using gvim7.0 on WIN XP; I have several questions: > > 1.
