vi temporary files remaining in dir



Hello everybody,

I hope someone can help on this problem I have: each
time I edit a file using VIM, " Vi IMproved 6.1 (2002
Mar 24, compiled Apr 14 2002 20:41:29)" I get a
"temporary" copy of the original file.

The naming is as follows: when I edit, say, trash.txt,
the "temporary" copy is named trash.txt~

I searched the web on the keywords: 'vi temporary
files debian' but it didn't help anything

Can anybody tell me what might be causing the problem
? I think this problem started after installing a gtk
version (to be able to run gvim - but I don't really
use that anyway)

Thanks for any help,

Joris
