Keyword reference for folding

Question 16 (2002):

I have a problem with the folding in GVIM. Before this, I could open and close a folder containing a section of code for a PROC or a whole section of comments based on the curly bracket notation --{{{ and --}}} you provide in your .occ files. Once the block of code is closed, it displays a line of text highlighted in blue with a '+' sign on the left with the code indented and encapsulated under this folder and it also has fold column on the far left.

But now my GVIM program running under Exceed seems to have been saved under different settings and is incapable of displaying this anymore where it was OK before, and now it just displays plain text. I find it much easier if I have the folding capabilities as it is much easier to hide lines of comments and PROC bodies - particularly for occam when there are large amounts of code.

How can I change back to the original settings before and is always displayed every time you open any .occ file without having to add folders manually??

Answer 16:

This problem is caused because /usr/local/work was renamed to /usr/local/courses on raptor. /usr/local/work doesn't exist any longer, i.e. some students' Vim resource files now point to the wrong (non-existing) directory, that's why the folding scripts are not loaded. To solve this, try to run the vim script again. Run:

  /usr/local/courses/co516/vim-setup

and chose option 1 ("Replace old files").
