I only followed whatever is given under

:help fortran

lines 1099 to 1106 of syntax.txt .

Thanks a lot. Your solution works perfectly. One small question. In my 
previous .vimrc, I had this varible called fortran_free_source. Do I need to 
worry about it in ~/.vim/ftplugin/fortran.vim or can I just forget about its 
existence completely?

thanks
