Sourcing.vimrc breaks all of these iabbrev

[stosss]

I just started creating :iabbrev for all sorts of simple things. They
all work just fine when Vim starts but they all break when .vimrc is
sourced.

I don't understand.

I don't either -- when vim starts is not .vimrc sourced automatically?
And isn't .vimrc where you've defined them?

I just tried to reproduce this and couldn't. 

I setup a vimrc iabbrev, launched and it worked. Then did :source ~/.vimrc and the ibbrev still worked.  So presumably there's something else weird going on in your vimrc?  Maybe a plugin is clearing them?

Please be more specific. How do you start Vim, such that no
.vimrc is sourced? What makes you think, that after sourcing your
.vimrc it breaks your abbreviations? Do you get an error message
and if so which one? Where do you create your iabbrev without
the .vimrc? What does your .vimrc look like? Is there a simple way to
reproduce your issue?

Those are just the couple of questions I can think of.

then you are contradicting yourself -- if they work when vim starts,
they work when vim is sourced, since that includes sourcing .vimrc --
how else could they work

Starting gvim from shell or from GUI icon the :iabbrev commands work
:source $MYVIMRC they stop working.

Starting vim from the shell they don't work period not even new ones
typed at the command line.

These are simple ones like this
:iabbrev od do
:iabbrev adn and

[Christian Brabandt]

Do you have somehow 'paste' set? Again, please answer all questions
given above (e.g. show your $MYVIMRC).

SOLVED

Thanks Christian, set paste was the problem. When I saw your question
I looked up :help paste and there was the answer. set paste disables a
lot of things. I removed set paste from .vimrc so maybe some other
things that I just avoided will work properly now.
