What does "set enc?" say? Anyway, setting enc=utf-8 when your terminal is using something else makes the output look like shit. Furthermore, you wouldn't be able to input any non-ascii characters anyway (or maybe you will, depending on your locale, but they would appear as garbage on the screen). If you're not going to go anywhere near non-ascii text it might be OK. I guess you're better off using gvim if "locale -k charmap" doesn't say UTF-8 in your term. -- -* Georgi Georgiev -* Each honest calling, each walk of life, -* *- [EMAIL PROTECTED] *- has its own elite, its own aristocracy *- -* +81(90)2877-8845 -* based on excellence of performance. -- -* *- ------------------- *- James Bryant Conant *-
