Re: Disable Help

Gary,

I moved .vimrc out of the way.

Executed "\vim"   to negate my bash alias which does:  "alias vim='/usr/bin/vim -u ~/.vimrc'"

I first did '<F1>' and got the help, and quit out of it ":q"

I next did 'a' and then did '<F1>' and got the help, and quit out of it ":q"

The results from ":verbose map! <F1>" was "No mapping found"---------same for ":verbose map <F1>.

Thank you... I appreciate the help.

I've spent a couple hours this evening browsing through the VIM ":help".... to see what more I could learn.

I didn't see anything there that should cause this.

I know we've been through this before in bits and pieces, but I'd
like to be sure that we're all on the same page.

Please try the following.

1.  Start vim without any arguments:

        vim

2.  Enter insert mode by typing

        a

3.  Type the F1 key.  This will presumably bring up Vim's help.

4.  Exit the help window by executing

        :q

5.  Execute this:

        :verbose map! <f1>

6.  Let us know the results of that last command.

Regards,
Gary
