Are you trying to run /usr/bin/vim directly? Try typing just "vi" (no arguments), it should show the vim initial screen with "VIM - Vi IMproved" on the top. </blockquote><div><br></div><div>In this particular post (or because of the hour). it is not clear to me what do you mean. It appears to be a contradiction.</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>Anyways, the only difference I notice between Terminal >> type[vi] and Terminal >> type[<b>vim</b>] is that when I type (i) to insert the word INSERT is placed at the bottom of the screen between hyphens, and characters are purple, and the screen (because I changed it for my terminal output) is black.</div>
