22 What does "set enc?" say?
23
24 Anyway, setting enc=utf-8 when your terminal is using something else
25 makes the output look like shit. Furthermore, you wouldn't be able to
26 input any non-ascii characters anyway (or maybe you will, depending on
27 your locale, but they would appear as garbage on the screen). If you're
28 not going to go anywhere near non-ascii text it might be OK.
29
30 I guess you're better off using gvim if "locale -k charmap" doesn't say
31 UTF-8 in your term.
