Howdy,

The README that came with Vim said:

      Installation should be easy:  just drag Vim.app to where you  
want to keep
it.  I put it in /Applications/ .
Unless you want a maximally vi-compatible version of vim, it is  
recommended
that you copy the standard startup files to your home directory, and  
name them
.vimrc and .gvimrc .  From a shell,

	$ cd Vim.app/Contents/Resources/vim/runtime
	$ cp vimrc_example.vim ~/.vimrc
	$ cp gvimrc_example.vim ~/.gvimrc

You can do the same with Finder if you prefer (with "Show Package  
Contents"),
but it may not let you use .vimrc and .gvimrc; you can use _vimrc and  
_gvimrc
instead.

Good Luck,
