    							*Amiga*
    This file contains the particularities for the Amiga version of Vim.

    Installation on the Amiga:
    - Assign "VIM:" to the directory where the Vim "doc" directory is.  Vim will
      look for the file "VIM:doc/help.txt" (for the help command).
      Setting the environment variable $VIM also works.  And the other way around:
      when $VIM used and it is not defined, "VIM:" is used.
    - With DOS 1.3 or earlier: Put "arp.library" in "libs:". Vim must have been
      compiled with the |+ARP| feature enabled.  Make sure that newcli and run are
      in "C:" (for executing external commands).
    - Put a shell that accepts a command with "-c" (e.g. "Csh" from Fish disk
      624) in "c:" or in any other directory that is in your search path (for
      executing external commands).

    If you have sufficient memory you can avoid startup delays by making Vim and
    csh resident with the command "rez csh vim". You will have to put
    "rezlib.library" in your "libs:" directory. Under 2.0 you will need rez
    version 0.5.

    If you do not use digraphs, you can save some memory by recompiling without
    the |+digraphs| feature. If you want to use Vim with other terminals you can
    recompile with the TERMCAP option. Vim compiles with Manx 5.x and SAS 6.x.
    See the makefiles and feature.h.

    If you want to use different colors set the termcap codes:
    	t_mr (for inverted text)
    	t_md (for bold text)
    	t_me (for normal text after t_mr and t_md)
    	t_so (for standout mode)
    	t_se (for normal text after t_so)
    	t_us (for underlined text)
    	t_ue (for normal text after t_us)
    	t_ZH (for italic text)
    	t_ZR (for normal text after t_ZH)

    Standard ANSI escape sequences are used. The codes are:
    30 grey char   40 grey cell   >0 grey background    0 all attributes off
    31 black char  41 black cell  >1 black background   1 boldface
    32 white char  42 white cell  >2 white background   2 faint
    33 blue char   43 blue cell   >3 blue background    3 italic
    34 grey char   44 grey cell   >4 grey background    4 underscore
    35 black char  45 black cell  >5 black background   7 reverse video
    36 white char  46 white cell  >6 white background   8 invisible
    37 blue char   47 blue cell   >7 blue background

    The codes with '>' must be the last. The cell and background color should be
    the same. The codes can be combined by separating them with a semicolon. For
    example to get white text on a blue background:
      :set t_me=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m
      :set t_se=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m
      :set t_ue=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m
      :set t_ZR=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m
      :set t_md=^V<Esc>[1;32;43;>3m
      :set t_mr=^V<Esc>[7;32;43;>3m
      :set t_so=^V<Esc>[0;31;43;>3m
      :set t_us=^V<Esc>[4;32;43;>3m
      :set t_ZH=^V<Esc>[3;32;43;>3m

    When using multiple commands with a filter command, e.g.
      :r! echo this; echo that
    Only the output of the last command is used. To fix this you have to group the
    commands. This depends on the shell you use (that is why it is not done
    automatically in Vim). Examples:
      :r! (echo this; echo that)
      :r! {echo this; echo that}

    Commands that accept a single file name allow for embedded spaces in the file
    name. However, when using commands that accept several file names, embedded
    spaces need to be escaped with a backslash.
