No setting will do this. You probably have a tiny Vim. Or a different program that is not Vim at all. As John asked, what is the output of your :version command? Version number and patches and feature set (HUGE/BIG/NORMAL/SMALL/TINY) should do it. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
