Recently started using vi macros.
When attempting to use one which accessed the external shell, got the following message:
"The ! command is not supported when the secure edit option is set."
When attempting to ":set nosecure" got:
"set: the secure option may not be turned off."
When attempting to "set nosecure" in my .exrc file, got:
set nonumber
.exrc, 44: set: the secure option may not be turned off
.exrc, 44: Ex command failed: pending commands discarded
Looking through all the man pages, vi references, tutorials, and the the oreilly vi "bible",
can't find anything...
Is "set secure" a compiled in setting?

external programs.
and
secure [off]
Turns off all access to external programs.

So you are using ! for external commands and not the like :w!
I would look at any defaults on the system that may be causing vi to run in secure mode, also check the mounted filesystem you are on is set to noexec.
