This is my second contribution to puppy community.

As a VIM lover, when I met the "vi" editor on puppy I felt disappointed. That was not even close to VI! I solved my problem installing VIM and generated two .pet for this, one with all the stuffs, and another one without docs and syntax highlight. Have fun!!!

I installed vim 7.2.full.pet in puppy 4.11 full hd install and ran the program from rxvt.
However nothing happened, just the front page showing commands.
Every time I pressed the keyboard a beep happens and no movement of the cursor which stays in the top left hand corner of the rxvt screen.
Is something missing? or is it designed for a different pup version.

I tried the full vim on 4.1.2-2.6.25.16 (frugal high-encrypt usb flash) and it seems to work fine from rxvt and in putty over dropbear.

Thanks.
