configure vim

I read on Roland Wolters blog a great tip that I am now placing in my own so it's handy.if you're on a system that's not working the way you want it to, then you may make a .vimrc file in your ~ directory with the following arguments:set laststatus=2syn onfiletype indent onset aiset nuset icand so on.  whatever you like for your vim.  Don't know what you like? probably whatever you're used to; go to your ~ and look for a .vimrc and grap a copy of it.  Drop it onto a USB thumbdrive or whatever.  It's just really handy to know, especially if you're dropped into a computing situation where the system isn't pre-configured the way you are used to it being configured.  I got so used to how vim worked on most default linux systems that I was really thrown off when I was using vim on the Mac at work.  Hence, this post.
