Hi,

( usual: " i'm new to this group --- apologies for stupid questios ;) )

is there any possibility to free macrospace?
 after modifiing and :so # the .exrc-file a few times a got that "too much macro text" msg
 i fix this by quiting and reentering vi, but this is anoying.
 ( i saw this question in the ced.tips also, but there was no answer )

i want to have a wrapmargin macro which accesses the current value and adds a certain 
value to it. So i can increase the value with each keystroke. 
A much better way to do that would be to "know" the windowsize vi is running in and setting 
wrapmargin appropriately. But then i have to access the window parameter. How do i do that?

please email 

Thanx a lot

 Stefan
