Google is your friend, as it usually is. Googling for "vim backspace" it took about ten minutes to find a working solution. Add this line to your ~/.vimrc : set backspace=2 Hansen -- Powered by SuSE 8.1pro - KDE 3.0.3 - KMail 1.4.3 Netiquette is easy: http://learn.to/edit_messages ...and you'll get flame-free answers in no time.
