But when the entire set of session files is copied to a Windows machine, and the GVIM on Windows appears to open the files when one opens the session, but there is no display of any text in the files. Opening the same files in Notepad++ Windows does display the text, but no means of opening any of the files in GVIM Windows seem to display the text. Am I missing some simple setting please?

What is your 'fileformats' (plural) setting on Windows? Do you have a
_vimrc on Windows? What is your 'compatible' setting? Are you checking
the filetype?

:verbose set ffs?
:scriptnames
" and look near the top of the output
:verbose set cp?
:filetype

The 'nocompatible' default for 'fileformats' is "dos, unix". That ought
to allow even a Windows Vim to open Unix files correctly. And if a user
vimrc is found, Vim sets 'nocompatible' (i.e. sets the Boolean
'compatible' setting to FALSE).

If the answers to the above look normal, we'll have to dig deeper, or
look elsewhere.


Best regards,
