Try
:verbose setlocal tw? wm? fo?
:echo $HOME
:scriptnames

while editing a text file. Then check the help for these options (and
|fo-table| for the latter one).

The 2nd and 3rd ex-commands above are to make sure that you put the
text.vim script at some location where Vim looked for it.

I don't know yet, but maybe the answer to the question above will help
