Im not too sure how to turn it on and off dynamically whether you are pasting or typing, but you can always fill in the commands manually before you paste... :set noautoindent to shut it off :set autoindent ofcourse to bring it back. You might be able to hack vim to set that up into a hot-key combination, but I have no idea :P enjoy -- Adam McDaniel Infrastructure Technology Consultant M-Tech Mercury Information Technology, Inc.
