Re: [PLUG] vim display problems

Also, be sure to check that your TERM environment variable is set 
correctly.  A generally safe term for SSH is 'TERM=xterm'.  I sometimes 
have odd vim behavior when I SSH into a server and my term gets set to 
'TERM=rxvt' and rxvt isn't supported properly by the server's termcap.
