Thanks - this worked. VIM is now upgraded, but I did get the following error

the options were Israeli or Israeli(phonetic). I chose the first and that
**sort of** worked. I can now run VIM (terminal mode) and use Hebrew, but I see
garbage on screen. When I import the file to my XFMail and chose the proper
font, i DO see Hebrew. So the solution is not perfect, but does work.
GVIM does work with Hebrew fonts - so thanks for all the help.
