 | The vim I'm using always puts the cursor at the beginning of the file
when I open it. I'd like it to be placed at the line where I last was
editing. Is there a simple way to set this up?

Alternatively, just put this as the first line in your ~/.vimrc:
so $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim

Why? Its not necessary to source the complete
$VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim.
#v+
" When editing a file, always jump to the last known cursor position.
" Don't do it when the position is invalid or when inside an event handler
" (happens when dropping a file on gvim).
autocmd BufReadPost *
\ if line("'\"") > 0 && line("'\"") <= line("$") |
\ exe "normal g`\"" |
\ endif
#v-
Thats all.
