If you want the full status line, set laststatus=2 If you just want to see the cursor position, set ruler I don't know why it was there for you in vim 6 but not in vim 7 unless your upgrade process did more than just change the vim binaries and runtime files. Perhaps your new installation changed the system vimrc as well. HTH, Gary -- Gary Johnson | Agilent Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Mobile Broadband Division | Spokane, Washington, USA
