Thanks. After poking around a bit more with these and other links, I think I have a more fundamental question. I have neither a .exrc nor a .vimrc *anywhere* on any of my machines -- neither the new, misbehaving one nor any of my older "good" machines.
(note - I pulled the above out of my putty logs. Unfortunately, logs did not capture the vi command I used to get that ouput, I don't remember what it was, and going back to find the web page that suggested it, I cant' find that either )
So at this point I'd like to just figure out how the two are different at all - regardless of the specifics of the differences. Without either of the two configuration files ...

To turn automatic indentation back on, use:
Code:
:set autoindent
Don,
thanks for the feedback. Actually, I *do* want to turn it off permanently. I've never had it turned on on any system I've ever worked on. Didn't even know it was an option. I'm not against learning new tricks, but this isn't one of them.
See my previous reply. At this point -- after investigating further -- I'm more curious about determining why two systems are working differently at all. Neither system has either .exrc or .vimrc files. So how is it that the two behave differently at all?
