Save abbrevations in vi

Hi, �how i can to save abbrevations in vi?

can not understand your need . explain clearly .

Thanks for answer.

In vi, i can define abbreviations with:

:ab etc ETCCCCC

But when i close my editor, these abbreviations are lost.

PD : Sorry for my wrong english

You just store that in the file called .vimrc in your home directory .

Thanks.
