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!) Just re-posting this with the correct title (for those who scan for the string 'vi'). Sorry for the typo. -- Will Estes Internet: westes@netcom.com
