a suggestion and a question -- first the suggestion: try :verbose set fo? and see if it can tell you where the errant fo is being set and the question: i see you are using an older vim, which implies you are also using an older netrw -- in older netrws there was a problem with it altering formatoptions for buffers in the same session -- did you in fact use netrw to find and open your conf file? sc --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
