the simplest will be to

    :set autochdir

in your _vimrc, although this setting has its detractors, and 
some plugins misbehave with it set, or did in the past -- i edit 
files all over the place and have come to rely on the fact that 
no matter where i am, :pwd is always current to the file i am 
editing

Syntax - Highlight TODO w/ Matchgroup

I'm trying to highlight "org-mode" files similar to what's shown here:
http://orgmode.org/img/tasks.png

I found a good start by using "outline.vim" from vim.org.

Now, I'm having problems highlighting the TODO keyword
in a different color than the color of the header.

Example:

* TODO Something

The TODO above should be higlighted differently than the other items
in that line.

Here's what I have so far:
--------------------
syn region Outline_1 matchgroup=Outline_1_match contains=Todo transparent
            \ start='^\*.*'
            \ end='\n\ze\n\?\*[^*]\|^<$'
            \ fold keepend

syn keyword Todo TODO contained

hi! default link Outline_1_match Comment
hi! default link Outline_1 Text
---------------------
I need "matchgroup"since I want to highlight the top TODO
line, but nothing else in that paragraph.

My guess is that your newer Centos comes with a system vimrc that
contains some setting that's interfering with your backups.

One way to check this is to execute

    :scriptnames

and look for a system vimrc being sourced.  It might be
/etc/vimrc or /usr/share/vim/vimrc.  See

    :help system-vimrc

for more on this file and

    :help startup

for the details of what Vim does at startup.  If you see such a
file, you can open it and see if it contains anything suspicious.
You can also see the current values of options whose setting differ
from the default by executing

Yank range ?

I went to :he y and I see:

:[range]y[ank] [x]	Yank [range] lines [into register x].

so I do:

:'y,'zy"c

It did not give me an error, but when I type:

"cP

I don't get what I yanked.

What I am doing wrong?
What register is my yanked text in?

i think it'll be in the un-named register (")

i think what you wanted to do was

    :'y,'zyc

if you want it in register c

Yes typing P dumped my text into the file.

This produced the E492 error

So how does range yank into a named register work?

Keeping screen position

I don't like when I'm jumping between two files and if I need to edit a
line at the bottom and see some text at the top, vim re-centers screen
after ctrl-^ so I have to scroll again. I made a little mapping that
remembers and restores screen:

nnoremap <silent> <c-^> msHmt<c-^>:normal! 'tzt`s<CR>

It works great nearly always but on a rare occasion, it seems like it
jumps to the top of file. Or a couple screenfuls up, or something like
that. It happens rarely enough that I can't figure out what causes this
and yet often enough to be annoying; and it always happens when I'm too
busy with something else to investigate.

I'm hoping someone here might be able to spot the problem with this
mapping. Much thanks in advance!

Does increasing your cmdheight option help?  (:set ch=2)
