Also, vim -X #Do not connect to X server

I have ssh forwarding my X connections, and that comes in handy, so I
don't want to unset $DISPLAY.  But having vim  contact my Xserver over
slow-ass dialup every time i reply to an e-mail is laggy and annoying,
hence -X.

I'm a new vim convert and found the vimtips at
<http://vim.sourceforge.net/tip_download.php> to be very helpful as far
as learning how to do stuff as well as just getting a better idea of all
the cool stuff vim can do.

There's some quick perl to pick out a random tip here:
