Depends on whether vim was started in compatible mode or not. The gritty details of "should I default to compatible or not" is spelled out at :help compatible-default In compatible mode, it doesn't store registers in your viminfo, whereas for nocp mode, it does by default: :help 'viminfo' Vi default: "" Vim default for MS-Windows: '100,<50,s10,h,rA:,rB:, for Amiga: '100,<50,s10,h,rdf0:,rdf1:,rdf2: for others: '100,<50,s10,h) So based on a number of factors (initial 'cp' determination, overridden 'cp' setting, manually setting 'viminfo', manually setting 'viminfofile', etc), the results may vary. Tuneable to the point of fault^Wconfusion. ;-) -tim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
