I'm using the latest version from the wiki, with a recent emacs-snapshot (emacs 23 from CVS via http://emacs.orebokech.com/) and gnome-terminal. (But I tried just it with xterm as well, with the same results.) I'm not sure what "the multi file setup" refers to, but I'm not doing anything special in my .emacs: just
(setq viper-mode t) ; enable Viper at load time (setq viper-ex-style-editing nil) ; can backspace past start of insert / line (require 'viper) ; load Viper (setq vimpulse-experimental nil) ; don't load bleeding edge code (see 6. installation instruction) (require 'vimpulse) ; load Vimpulse (setq woman-use-own-frame nil) ; don't create new frame for manpages (setq woman-use-topic-at-point t) ; don't prompt upon K key (manpage display)
(require 'redo) ; enables C-r (redo key) (require 'rect-mark) ; enables nice-looking block visual mode
Best, John
Try using an otherwise-empty .emacs -- remove all lines except the ones you mentioned above. Does that work? Try using GNU Emacs 22. Does that work? If not: Is your computer always, or usually on? Would you like me (or Alessandro, if he wants to do it) to SSH in and take a look? If so, contact me at +1-416-992-3445 or by instant messaging at jasonspiro at gmail.com / jasonspiro at hotmail.com. If you want to watch me while I am working, please install tcl, expect, and kibitz before you contact me. If your distro doesn't package kibitz, perhaps inside its expect package, you can download it online; I think it's just a single expect script.
