-A. Dead keys work on NT 3.51. Just type them as you would in any other

- On NT 4.0, you need to make sure that the default locale (set in the

Q. I'm using Vim to edit a symbolically linked file on a Unix NFS file server.
When I write the file, Vim does not "write through" the symlink. Instead,
it deletes the symbolic link and creates a new file in its place. Why?

-Q. I'm storing files on a remote machine that works with VisionFS, and files
- disappear!
-A. VisionFS can't handle certain dot (.) three letter extension file names.
- SCO declares this behavior required for backwards compatibility with 16bit
- DOS/Windows environments. The two commands below demonstrate the behavior:
->
- echo Hello > file.bat~
- dir > file.bat

- The result is that the "dir" command updates the "file.bat~" file, instead
- of creating a new "file.bat" file. This same behavior is exhibited in Vim
- when editing an existing file named "foo.bat" because the default behavior
- of Vim is to create a temporary file with a '~' character appended to the
- name. When the file is written, it winds up being deleted.

- Solution: Add this command to your _vimrc file: >
- :set backupext=.temporary

-Q. How do I change the blink rate of the cursor?
-A. You can't! This is a limitation of the NT console. NT 5.0 is reported to
