Jim,

Below are the additions I made to my _vimrc start up file which is in the
c:\vim directory.  I made these  changes quite a while ago, so my
recollection of each is now a bit weak.  I am afraid the most I have are the
comments I made for each setting.  If you use any of these, be sure to add
them to your _vimrc file and not to overwrite your file completely.

I also made changes to the Jaws config file for vim, so I am not sure how
much help the settings below will be without sending you my Jaws config.  If
you wish me to send you my Jaws config file, let me know.

Tom

Adds to _vimrc relating to use with Jaws speech:

" Select a horizontal cursor.  Works best for Jaws finding and reading.
set gcr=n-i-r-c:hor10

" Put only the cursor column number in the 15 character ruler area.
set ruler
set ruf=%v\

"Turn off left, right and bottom scroll bars.
set go-=l
set go-=r
set go-=b

" Use pop up dialogs and not console dialogs.
set go-=c

" Do not use tear off menus.
set go-=t

" Do not wrap cursor at margins for cursor keys
set ww-=<
set ww-=>
set ww-=[

set ww-=]

" Turn off the intro message at startup.
set shortmess+=I
