I want to have an abbreviation that will print out the following 5 lines:
main(argc,argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
}
I want to put this is my .exrc file. I have already set autoindent in this
file. The problem is that, with autoindent set, multiline abbreviations
are tabbed in by autoindent, with (apparently) no way to stop this. I tried
the obvious ^D's, but to no avail, even when lnext quoted. Can anyone help?
EXAMPLES that do NOT work:
THIS (in .exrc):
set autoindent
abbreviate aaaaa main(argc,argv)^M^Iint argc;^Mchar *argv[];^M^D{^M}
PRODUCES:
main(argc,argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
}
adding additional ^D's, quoted or not, does not work.
We are running 4.1bsd on a VAX-11/780.

I know, a kludge. -- Larry McVoy ----------- Arpa: mcvoy@rsch.wisc.edu Uucp: {seismo, ihnp4}!uwvax!geowhiz!geophiz!larry "Just remember, wherever you go -- there you are." -Buckaroo Banzai
