I am having problems with vi's -c startup option. I execute the command: vi -c "set wm=12" myfile I was hoping that this would execute the command set wm=12 before I started editing myfile. What is happening instead is that the commands in my .exrc file execute, but the set wm=12 does not. (Note, there is no set wm command in my .exrc file!) What are the rules of precedence here regarding the -c startup option and the .exrc file? Is there some way to force a command to execute at startup in addition to the ones found in .exrc? I need some way of starting vi up with a different set of startup commands depending on my stty cols setting. Also, while I'm here, can someone tell me how do you mark a line in .exrc as a comment? -- Will Estes Internet: westes@netcom.com
