~/.vimrc

I was playing around with a virgin DSVR (vs300) account for a few hours during the week, just getting php and MySQL ready for use. Vi was really annoying, giving me the dreaded A B C D routine when the arrow keys were pressed in insert mode.

vim in compatible mode, I could'nt find a vimrc anywhere so I placed this into ~/.vimrc

set nocompatibleset backspace=indent,eol,startset background=darksyntax onset history=50set rulerset noautoindent

much better!
