Hi...
   Since the last few days I have been getting a strange message when
I start to vi a file. When I type :
   
 			$ vi filename

I get this message for a moment first:
	"/u0/vijay/vijay/.virc"  No such file or directory
then it starts to vi the file. 

I guess the shell looks for a .virc file to read some commands from before   
vi'ing a file. Since I do not have a .virc file, thus the command. 

My question is: what should I put in the .virc file; and also, why all of a
sudden this message? I have never had a .virc file ever, and the vi command
used to work before. 

Any help would be appreciated....
Thanks in advance...
