I keep seeing the recording message at the bottom of my gVim 7.2 window.
What is it and how do I turn it off?

Quit Vim / Vi without Saving the File To exit the editor, without saving the changes, switch to normal mode by pressing Esc , type :q! and hit Enter . Type :q!
To record a macro and save it to a register, type the key q followed by a letter from a to z that represents the register to save the macro, followed by all commands you want to record, and then type the key q again to stop the recording.
Press Esc key and type :w to save a file in vim. One can press Esc and type :wq to save changes to a file and exit from vim.
You start recording by q<letter> and you can end it by typing q again.
Recording is a really useful feature of Vim.
It records everything you type. You can then replay it simply by typing @<letter>. Record search, movement, replacement...
One of the best feature of Vim IMHO.
