Thanks for a comprehensive post. Lots of stuff to look at and I don't
know what 95 % of it does...... even though I've used vim more or less
continuously for some 12-13 yrs now.

mouse=a here too. But I see the xterm versions are different.

I just use gentoo installer `emerge' and don't fuss with the compile
myself. But I do have a fairly long .vimrc

It may just be cruft in that... I think I'll post it inline below.
Maybe someone will see a problem there... its certainly a sloppy mess.
I don't use half of those iab settings... maybe I'll clean them up in
the sweet bye and bye...
