I dont see it in my local ~/.muttrc; this "something" is controlling every /search term and highlighting it. the regular vim /tmp/foofile.c /tmp/footext is fine. it's only in mutt that highlights EVERY instance that I'm searching for. I'll figure it out eventually if you don't know offhand. or anybody else. maybe I should just find keith bostic's newvi; see if they have it for linux; theyve got everything else... {grumble} thanks, polyt. gary > > > -- > Polytropon > Magdeburg, Germany > Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 > Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix Twenty-six years of service to the Unix community.
