[ale] Copying from vi into another terminal

[John Wells]

Ok...so it's gotta be a settings problem, and gnome-terminal problem, or a
Gnome issue, because it won't work for me.  You use KDE, if I recall?

Can you paste results of doing a :set in vi?  In other words, what do you
currently have set in your vi environment?

Thanks
John
