I am using MacVim on both work and home computers. My colon commands are being saved in my home computers but not on my work computer. My .vimrc on both computers is:
set shell=/bin/bash
execute pathogen#infect()
filetype plugin indent on
autocmd ColorScheme * hi StatusLine guifg=#268bd2
colorscheme solarized
