Works here, so it sounds like you've got a problem with your system,
rather than vim, in itself. You might want to try verifying the
installation (see the rpm man file for verify instructions).
You're probably using /bin/vi instead of /usr/bin/vim.
Starting vim by running 'vi' as root can cause this as the alias vi=vim
isn't set for root-

Thanks for the replies.
I was working as root and, under a user login, vim :help *does*
work properly. I should have checked this before posting. Thnx!
However, aliasing doesn't enter into it, since I use 'vim' from
the cmdline and the X11 version from the start menu (gvim).
So, the problem only exists while running as root. Irritating,
but not a show stopper.
Any ideas on how I might track down the cause?
