Date: 6 Aug 1995 20:26:18 -0400 Organization: Editor impaired, inc. Lines: 23 Message-ID: <403mja$91@panix.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: panix.com I am using csh. I want to have wrapmargin=18 be set as default at startup of vi. I have an .exrc file with: set wrapmagin=18 But when I load vi, it is not set? From my login shell I get: % echo $EXINIT set autoindent the wrap magin set is the ONLY thing in my .exrc? SO, 1) Why isn't my .exrc being read? 2) Where is the environment variable EXINIT being set? I think I'm missing something here? Arthur
