I hope someone can help me with this.  I created a .exrc file
in my home directory.  All it does is sets autoindent and
tabstops to 4.  If I run vi in my home directory it works fine
but if I move to another directory autoindent and tabstops
don't get set.  Is this a feature or a bug?  According to the
man pages vi uses ~/.exrc NOT .exrc.  I have rwx for everybody
on the file so even though that should not be a problem I did
eliminate the possiblity.

Thanks in advance.
