1. Do you have the required features compiled-in?
:version
The output should include +autocmd +eval +syntax
If it doesn't, install a Vim version which has them. I recommend Big or
Huge features.

2. Are you detecting filetypes?
:filetype
If the answer does not include "detection:ON" then
:filetype plugin on
In .vimrc I have
filetype on " enable filetype detection
filetype plugin on "
3. Have you enabled syntax highlighting in general?
Yes. If I use the normal :tab sball command, the syntax highlighting behave as
expected
<F1> (i.e., hit the F1 key)
If the helpfile is displayed in plain black-and-white, then
:syntax on
4. If files newly loaded are now being highlighted, but files previously
loaded aren't, then
:silent! tabdo windo e
The steps I do to obtain this is:
:!ctags -R " in a directory where you have some c files
:au BufNewFile,BufAdd * :tab sball
CTRL-] on a function defined in another source file, so vim will open another
buffer. The second opened buffer lacks the syntax highli....(too long word )
