Understood...it's just that the two installs of vim look for vimrc at different places (each has their own "root install" directory). And of course, I try to maintain separation between user & global stuff, so I keep an account-specific copy of vimrc, even though it is the same as the global. In case I ever need to create another account. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
