You're right, but my :set _does not_ indicate this value set, so when
I
looked through it to read up on the options, obviously I didn't see
this &
never looked into it. Reading :help backup suggests its activated by a
pattern, but as its not defined in :set or :let and neither my /etc/
vimrc or
/etc/virc or ~/.vimrc contain it, I am wondering how its getting set?
Are
there ways to compile defaults into vim? If so how does one display
these
build time options?
Thanks for being patient,
jlc
