It is set automatically by vim within the vim session. Assuming you are using Linux (or other Unix-like OS), try echo $MYVIMRC from the command line. It should print a blank line if it is not set. Now, invoke vim and try :echo $MYVIMRC from within vim. It will be set to the full path of the vimrc file that was used. Vim will export this for subshells. Still within vim, try :! echo $MYVIMRC (note the space after the "!"). This will create a subshell and demonstrate that MYVIMRC is exported. After you leave vim, the variable should not be set in your shell; this is normal. You should not set this variable yourself; let vim do it. ...Marvin -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
