This is an OT question, on Vim in general. (This is on linux, not FreeBSD, where there is no nvi, just Vim.) Sometimes Vim would mask some lines of text like this: 55 **!*********************************************************************** 56 *DEPVAR, delete=15 57 +-- 19 lines: 18-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 76 ** ALL ZERO initially, EXCEPT 15 77 *INITIAL CONDITIONS,TYpe=SOLUTION 78 +-- 3 lines: ALL, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0---------------------------------------------------------- 81 ** 82 ** >>>>> END OF USER MATERIAL PART <<<<<< 83 ** I cannot find a setting or a command to unblock the hidden lines. The only workaround I know is to launch Vim as "ex -v". If I go into the edit mode on hidden lines, then they are unmasked, but this is not an acceptable workaround, as I don't want to edit, just see and check. I searched online multiple times but cannot see anything relevant. Maybe my search phrase is not right. Please advise Thanks Anton
