i get no syntax hilighting at all (the 'file ends here, so we'll show a tilde from here own down' is blue but that's all that's colored). from the docs (place in .vimrc): Colour support and syntax highlighting Some systems have a terminfo entry for rxvt and have an xterm terminfo entry without color support. Use the COLORTERM environment variable rxvt sets to enable colours in it. :if $COLORTERM == rxvt : set term=rxvt :endif :if term == rxvt : set t_Co=8 : set ttyfast :endif Colours suitable for a dark background, which is what my Linux console, xterms and rxvts are configured to have. set background=dark syntax on -- it should work in gvim automatically cheers damien pgpLorWaQurCt.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Vim vs Elvis -- was Mutt's Editor
what's this dependency thing listed for vim-rt? seems odd: recommended: vim suggested: exuberant-ctags or elvis eh? elvis? vim-rt is basically all the vim support files. vim supports ctags, but it doesn't include its own tags file generator. thus you need either a seperate package (exuberant), or elvis (which includes its own) ctags and quickfix editing (called cc error correction or something in elvis, iirc) are the two best things that happened to software development ;o) cheers damien pgpoOzGRpd8AD.pgp Description: PGP signature

Maybe it's because (like me until recently) you didn't realize that vim actually comes in two packages---vim itself and vim-rt. The second package contains the run time files, and you miss a lot of the vim goodies (like, for instance, documentation, and sample config files for syntax highlighting) if you fail to install vim-rt. Since the package vim merely recommends vim-rt (it doesn't depend on it), it's easy to miss installing the run-time files, Jim
