+ VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar
+
+
+ *Amiga*
+This file contains the particularities for the Amiga version of Vim.
+There is also a section specifically for |MorphOS| below.
+
+NOTE: The Amiga code is still included, but has not been maintained or tested.
+
+Installation on the Amiga:
+- Assign "VIM:" to the directory where the Vim "doc" directory is. Vim will
+ look for the file "VIM:doc/help.txt" (for the help command).
+ Setting the environment variable $VIM also works. And the other way around:
+ when $VIM used and it is not defined, "VIM:" is used.
+- With DOS 1.3 or earlier: Put "arp.library" in "libs:". Vim must have been
+ compiled with the |+ARP| feature enabled. Make sure that newcli and run are
+ in "C:" (for executing external commands).
+- Put a shell that accepts a command with "-c" (e.g. "Csh" from Fish disk
+ 624) in "c:" or in any other directory that is in your search path (for
+ executing external commands).
+
+If you have sufficient memory you can avoid startup delays by making Vim and
+csh resident with the command "rez csh vim". You will have to put
+"rezlib.library" in your "libs:" directory. Under 2.0 you will need rez
+version 0.5.
+
+If you do not use digraphs, you can save some memory by recompiling without
+the |+digraphs| feature. If you want to use Vim with other terminals you can
+recompile with the TERMCAP option. Vim compiles with Manx 5.x and SAS 6.x.
+See the makefiles and feature.h.
+
+If you notice Vim crashes on some files when syntax highlighting is on, or
+when using a search pattern with nested wildcards, it might be that the stack
+is too small. Try increasing the stack size. In a shell use the Stack
+command before launching Vim. On the Workbench, select the Vim icon, use the
+workbench "Info" menu and change the Stack field in the form.
+
+If you want to use different colors set the termcap codes:
+ t_mr (for inverted text)
+ t_md (for bold text)
+ t_me (for normal text after t_mr and t_md)
+ t_so (for standout mode)
+ t_se (for normal text after t_so)
+ t_us (for underlined text)
+ t_ue (for normal text after t_us)
+ t_ZH (for italic text)
+ t_ZR (for normal text after t_ZH)
+
+Standard ANSI escape sequences are used. The codes are:
+30 grey char 40 grey cell >0 grey background 0 all attributes off
+31 black char 41 black cell >1 black background 1 boldface
+32 white char 42 white cell >2 white background 2 faint
+33 blue char 43 blue cell >3 blue background 3 italic
+34 grey char 44 grey cell >4 grey background 4 underscore
+35 black char 45 black cell >5 black background 7 reverse video
+36 white char 46 white cell >6 white background 8 invisible
+37 blue char 47 blue cell >7 blue background
+
+The codes with '>' must be the last. The cell and background color should be
+the same. The codes can be combined by separating them with a semicolon. For
+example to get white text on a blue background: >
+ :set t_me=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m
+ :set t_se=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m
+ :set t_ue=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m
+ :set t_ZR=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m
+ :set t_md=^V<Esc>[1;32;43;>3m
+ :set t_mr=^V<Esc>[7;32;43;>3m
+ :set t_so=^V<Esc>[0;31;43;>3m
+ :set t_us=^V<Esc>[4;32;43;>3m
+ :set t_ZH=^V<Esc>[3;32;43;>3m
+
+When using multiple commands with a filter command, e.g. >
+ :r! echo this; echo that
+Only the output of the last command is used. To fix this you have to group the
+commands. This depends on the shell you use (that is why it is not done
+automatically in Vim). Examples: >
+ :r! (echo this; echo that)
+ :r! {echo this; echo that}
+
+Commands that accept a single file name allow for embedded spaces in the file
+name. However, when using commands that accept several file names, embedded
+spaces need to be escaped with a backslash.

+Vim for MorphOS *MorphOS*
+
+[this section mostly by Ali Akcaagac]
+
+For the latest info about the MorphOS version:
+ http://www.akcaagac.com/index_vim.html
+
+
+Problems ~
+
+There are a couple of problems which are not MorphOS related but more Vim and
+UN*X related. When starting up Vim in ram: it complains with a nag requester
+from MorphOS please simply ignore it. Another problem is when running Vim as
+is some plugins will cause a few problems which you can ignore as well.
+Hopefully someone will be fixing it over the time.
+
+To pass all these problems for now you can either run:
+
+ vim <file to be edited>
+
+or if you want to run Vim plain and enjoy the motion of Helpfiles etc. it then
+would be better to enter:
+
+ vim --noplugins <of course you can add a file>
+
+
+Installation ~
+
+1) Please copy the binary 'VIM' file to c:
+2) Get the Vim runtime package from:
+
+ ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/amiga/vim62rt.tgz
+
+ and unpack it in your 'Apps' directory of the MorphOS installation. For me
+ this would create following directory hierarchy:
+
+ MorphOS:Apps/Vim/Vim62/...
+
+3) Add the following lines to your s:shell-startup (Important!).
+
+ ;Begin VIM
+ Set VIM=MorphOS:Apps/Vim/Vim62
+ Assign HOME: ""
+ ;End VIM
+
+4) Copy the '.vimrc' file to s:
+
+5) There is also a file named 'color-sequence' included in this archive. This
+ will set the MorphOS Shell to show ANSI colors. Please copy the file to s:
+ and change the s:shell-startup to:
+
+ ;Begin VIM
+ Set VIM=MorphOS:Apps/Vim/Vim62
+ Assign HOME: ""
+ Execute S:Color-Sequence
+ Cls
+ ;End VIM
