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.

Chip Campbell
