+1 for .vimrc config files vi is generally a symlink to vim these days.
@Les, I've seen the auto-comment behavior you speak of. You may want to set formatoptions [0] in your .vimrc

@Joseph: You have autoindent specified twice - once in its abbreviated form and then the long version.
set noai set noautoindent

When I use copy/paste text into a window running vi, if there is a single line starting with '#', in the pasted content, it adds a # to all subsequent lines and indents each an additional level. Is there some way to eliminate this bizarre behavior, preferably globally and permanently so I don't have to repeat some change for every machine/user where I might log in?

=== To make vi less annoying, I always create a .vimrc in the homedir of the account in question. It contains:
syntax off set nohlsearch set noincsearch :let loaded_matchparen = 1 set noai set paste set mouse= set noautoindent
Hope this helps!
