I have 4GB. I wouldn't call that a huge lot of memory nowadays. > Maybe it's a little "imprecision" in the helpfile? > [...] Yes, it is. I think the maximum value should be removed from the help. And maybe the value to work without a limit should be changed to 0 or -1 or something like that. 2000000 can be a regular value nowadays. > BTW, if I try ":set mmt=20000000" gvim doesn't complain, and ":set > mmt?" after that displays those ludicrous twenty million. > [...] I don't think gvim should complain. If you tell it to use that much memory then it should do so. Your system will eventually start to swap but that's not gvim's fault.
