Anybody has an idea ?? I tried to build a native GNU-WIN32 version of the VI clone VIM. It compiled but exhibited the same behavior -that is the program started, displayed 'Empty Buffer' and completely locked up. I haven't gotten any further on this yet. Since both ports show the same problem, maybe this points to a problem in the termcap code? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kevin Dahlhausen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Morse Controls ap096 AT po DOT cwru DOT edu "Do or do not.
