I found it. I had to mount my Redhat 9.0 partition and
stell the vimrc from it. After doing a little
degugging
Here is the code to put in the vimrc file to place you
at the last line you were editing when you saved a
file.
if has("autocmd")
" In text files, always limit the width of text to
78 characters
autocmd BufRead *.txt set tw=78
" When editing a file, always jump to the last
cursor position
autocmd BufReadPost *
\ if line("'\"") > 0 && line ("'\"") <= line("$") |
\ exe "normal g'\"" |
\ endif
endif
Enjoy
