   I don't know about your platform. On Linux (for example) vim starts   
   a session in the terminal where it's called from, and without any   
   GUI features, while gvim starts a window wtih a specific GUI version   
   with gvim menus and whatnot. In gvim you can (for example) use the   
   mouse to select areas, choose commands from the gvim GUI menus, etc.   
   The functional (non-GUI) kernel of these two program variants are   
   the same with its commands in command/insert/ex/visual mode.
