I'm afraid you're stuck, at least as far as official vim groups go. There's this one and vim-development, primarily. See http://vim.sourceforge.net/community.php for the complete list.
What I consider to be highly undesirable "new" "features" make "ex" (and perhaps vi/vim) extremely awkward to use on MACs and I would dearly like to be able to replace ex by a more comfortable older version eg not wiping image of recent changes on screen on exit.
set nors If that doesn't do the trick, try set t_ti= t_te= (but this will only help with console vim, not gvim)
"undo" to "undo" just the last change by default - not all changes since start of session.
See :help 'undolevels'
etc
Not clear about this one!
Any suggestions "what to do" or "where to go for help" would be gratefully received
Seems to me that this mailing list is best for what you're inquiring about. Regards, Chip Campbell
