also there is a bunch of other behavioral changes "without default vimrc
file" ... including the weird escaping from insert mode and weird
backspace behavior (it won't delete beyond the insert point). so i added
the following lines in my $HOME/.vimrc to get back to work as quickly as
possible.
---- starting my .vimrc ----
set nocompatible
set backspace=indent,eol,start
syntax on
colorscheme elflord
---- end of my .vimrc ----
this will get you something pretty close to what you had before ... you
could theoretically steal some default vimrc from a linux distribution,
/usr/share/vim/vim60/macros/vimrc, and put it into your own
/usr/share/vim/vim60/macros/vimrc, which offers a fuller set of feature
"defaults" than what i have here.
oh well, hope things work fine for you again.
