Why isn't <enter-command> set resolve=$my_old_resolve<Enter> enough? What exactly does/means &my_old_resolve?
The fine manual has this to say: "The reset command resets all given variables to the compile time defaults (hopefully mentioned in this manual). If you use the command set and prefix the variable with „&“ this has the same behavior as the reset command."And as 'reset' and 'unset' mean to remove the definition of $my_ variables, &my_old_resolve removes the definition.
