Sounds logical.  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work:

    dchristensen@A05390:~$ cat .vimrc
    set autoindent
    set number
    set shiftwidth=4
    set fileformat=dos
    " Cygwin:
    syntax off
    " Linux:
    ":if exists("syntax_on") | syntax off | else | syntax enable | endif
    dchristensen@A05390:~$ vi baz
          1 abcd
          2
    dchristensen@A05390:~$ cat baz
    abcd

    dchristensen@A05390:~$ dump baz
    000000   a   b   c   d  \n  \n
    000006


I believe .vimrc is read every time Vim starts.  I don't get it...
