I have two FC4 boxes with identical /etc/vimrc . Using vim, on boxA, if for example, I use the slash to search for xxx, then all visible xxx are highlighted. On boxB, there is no highlight except for the cursor. I note that this is the case when the boxes are used directly or accessed via ssh using Putty from a win2k box. In the past, boxB worked like boxA. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help. Mike. -- Michael D. Berger m.d.berger@xxxxxxxx
