Vim cursor wrapping with .vimrc

I can't seem to get cursor wrapping to work in vim 7.3. I've tried suggestions found elsewhere, including the following, which have no effect:

  :set whichwrap+=<,>
  :set whichwrap+=>,l
  :set whichwrap+=<,h

Any suggestions? I've included my .vimrc in case there is a conflict...

syntax on

":set whichwrap+=<,h
set whichwrap+=<,>,[,]

colorscheme koehler
noremap <tab> i
inoremap <Down> <C-o>gj
inoremap <Up> <C-o>gk

nnoremap ; :
nnoremap : ;

set more                      " use more prompt
set autoread                  " watch for file changes
set number                    " line numbers
set noautowrite               " don't automagically write on :next
set lazyredraw                " don't redraw when don't have to
set showmode
set showcmd
set nocompatible              " vim, not vi
set autoindent smartindent    " auto/smart indent
set smarttab                  " tab and backspace are smart
set tabstop=4                 " 6 spaces
set shiftwidth=2
set scrolloff=5               " keep at least 5 lines above/below
set sidescrolloff=5           " keep at least 5 lines left/right
set history=200
set backspace=indent,eol,start
set linebreak
set cmdheight=2               " command line two lines high
set undolevels=1000           " 1000 undos
set updatecount=100           " switch every 100 chars
set complete=.,w,b,u,U,t,i,d  " do lots of scanning on tab completion
set noerrorbells              " No error bells please
set visualbell t_vb=            " and don't make faces

set showmatch                 " show matching bracket
set diffopt=filler,iwhite     " ignore all whitespace and sync

  if v:version >= 700
    " Enable spell check for text files
      autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.txt setlocal spell spelllang=en
      endif

      " mappings

      nmap <LocalLeader>tl :set list!<cr>
      " toggle paste mode
     nmap <LocalLeader>pp :set paste!<cr>

The issue is putting set nocompatible in the middle of your vimrc (I made the same mistake).
Actually nocompatible is set when a vimrc is detected, but set nocompatible has a side effect of resetting all options to default.

From :help nocompatible:

This is a special kind of option, because when it's set or reset, other options are also changed as a side effect.

NOTE: Setting or resetting this option can have a lot of unexpected effects: Mappings are interpreted in another way, undo behaves differently, etc. If you set this option in your vimrc file, you should probably put it at the very start.

The following line in your .vimrc is a conflict. Commenting out that line will probably fix the issue.

set nocompatible              " vim, not vi

And for automatic wrap, I suggest you use this one and use more of h and l than the left & right arrow keys:

set whichwrap+=<,>,h,l,[,]
