To display the status line always, set the following option in
your .vimrc file:
set laststatus=2
The advantage of having the status line displayed always is, you
can see the current mode, file name, file status, ruler, etc.
To get more help on this, use
:help laststatus

Avoiding the "Hit ENTER to continue" prompts >>
