Thanks for the answer. I wanted to edit a bunch of files on the same
window and when I set 'set comments+=n:>' on the first file and go to
the next file with ':n', then the previous setting is lost and I have to
set again: 'set comments+=n:>'
How can I have the same setting for all files?
Many thanks in advance,
