Add `syntax on' to your $HOME/.vimrc file. > also there is a bunch of other behavioral changes "without default vimrc file" ... including the weird escaping from insert mode and weird backspace behavior (it won't delete beyond the insert point). so i added the following lines in my $HOME/.vimrc to get back to work as quickly as possible. ---- starting my .vimrc ---- set nocompatible set backspace=indent,eol,start syntax on colorscheme elflord ---- end of my .vimrc ---- this will get you something pretty close to what you had before ... you could theoretically steal some default vimrc from a linux distribution, /usr/share/vim/vim60/macros/vimrc, and put it into your own /usr/share/vim/vim60/macros/vimrc, which offers a fuller set of feature "defaults" than what i have here. oh well, hope things work fine for you again. liulk ---------------------------------------- wondering why you can't find my homepage from any of the search engines? try http://www.likai.net -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
