I successfully installed gvim on a redhat installation, which must run in 
console mode only. It does this fine, and has perhaps double the features 
enabled as the tiny or expanded console vim.
My problem now is how to select the runtime directories and files for gvim, 
running as console vim? With usual ones, I get various error messages related 
to no graphics. If I used the tiny or expanded runtime files, I fear they 
would not contain some useful features (e.g., search, cmd, dictionary 
completion).
Specifically, I have tried to impliment the dictionary and thesaurus 
functions, but they do not seem to work. I have the files, and have set the 
dictionary and thesaurus variables to the correct directories.
However, i only get results when I tried to complete a word, for instance 
`have', within a dictionary file itself. In any other file, I get ``pattern 
not found'' for the same word. And I can not use i_CTRL-X i_CTRL-K to generate 
any popup menu with a list of words. Do these popups require graphics in 
linux? They seem to work OK on in my dos box under windows.
Any help appreciated.
