+<para>By default, <command>vim</command> runs in vi-compatible mode. Some
+people might like this, but we prefer to run <command>vim</command> in its
+own mode (else we wouldn't have included it in this book, but the original
+<command>vi</command>). Create a default vim configuration file by running
+the following:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>cat &gt; /etc/vimrc &lt;&lt; "EOF"</userinput>
+" Begin /etc/vimrc
+
+set nocompatible
+set backspace=2
+syntax on
+
+" End /etc/vimrc
+<userinput>EOF</userinput></screen>
+
+<para>The <emphasis>set nocompatible</emphasis> will make
+<command>vim</command> behave in a more useful way than the default
+vi-compatible manner. The <emphasis>set backspace=2</emphasis> allows
+backspacing over line breaks, autoindent and the start of insert. And the
+<emphasis>syntax on</emphasis> switches on <command>vim</command>'s
+semantic colouring.</para>
