Either source the vimrc_example.vim, for instance by adding

runtime vimrc_example.vim

near the top of your vimrc, or at least add the following (from lines 80
or thereabouts in the example vimrc):

if has('autocmd')
augroup vimrcEx
" When editing a file, always jump to the last known cursor position.
" Don't do it when the position is invalid or when inside an event
" handler (happens when dropping a file on gvim).
" Also don't do it when the mark is in the first line, that is
" the default position when opening a file.
autocmd BufReadPost *
\ if line("'\"") > 1 && line("'\"") <= line("$") |
\ exe "normal! g`\"" |
\ endif
augroup END
endif

This will remember your cursor location for each file, even across
sessions if your 'viminfo' setting is nonempty (see the ' [apostrophe]
paragrapĥ under :help 'viminfo'). I _think_ that the 'insertmode'
setting (characteristic of evim or [g]vim -y) is irrelevant for
autocommands.

Use of continuation lines assumes that you're in 'nocompatible' mode
(which is the default if your vimrc is named $HOME/.vimrc or $HOME/_vimrc).

If you _don't_ have +autocmd compiled-in, then sorry, you gotta get a
more powerful version.

Best regards,
Tony.
