The laptop has vim 7.0.35 and gives an error on the above two vimrc
commands. Also they don't show in :help.
What has happened in vim 7? Are there replacements for syntax on
and set mouse?
These commands are fine. So, bring up your new vim and type:
:version
What does that show?
Hello Chip.
:version shows 7.0
This seems rather incomplete. What I specifically need to know is
whether you have +syntax and +mouse. My version shows:

I suspect you have, on your fourth line, "Tiny version...". The tiny
version does not support either syntax highlighting or the mouse.
