I attempted to map this code ":set nobackup" to an 'Fx' key, (as a line in my 
.vimrc) with no good results; the formats I attempted were:

map <F3> :set nobackup <return>
map <F3> ":set nobackup" <return>

Actually, I just yanked/put the preceding line* (which I KNOW works), and 
modified it:

*map <silent> <F2> :nohlsearch <return>

with the thought that it would be easier to leave a correctly functioning line 
(after the modifications), coming from something that's already valid.

But...of course not.  Where did I go wrong?
