The formatoptions=tcql when I open .conf files.  The "l" is the
problem.  From the vim online help:

<screen scrape>
"l"  Only break a line if it was not longer than 'textwidth' when the
insert
     started.
</screen scrape>

This is kind of annoying, and I want it to stop.  I verified it does
this on .conf files but not on .sh files, for example.

The default formatoptions=tcq (from vim online help), and using
the :set command seems to confirm this.

I tried adding the line "set formatoptions-=l" to my .vimrc, but it
did not work.

Here is the entirety of conf.vim.  I do not see where is might be
messing with the formatoptions flags.  At this point, I'm mystified
enough to post this query here.
