When you say it doesn't work, do you mean that it doesn't put the
contents in register "a", that the characters appear in your
text-buffer, or do you simply not see the command as you type it?
If it's the latter, then check/compare your settings for
'showcmd', as it may be set on your university machine and not on
your local vim. Setting it should show the command as you type it.

I'm also making the assumption that you're advanced enough in
your vim use so that you're using Vim, not easy-vim (which opens
in insert-mode and requires you to jump to normal mode on a
command-by-command basis). Usually, you have to explicitly
request easy-vim.
