I have an additional-help syntax file at my website (and it does support syntax-based folding): http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#HELP I updated the one on my website, too. Caveat: I used to have a version on vim.sf.net, but it was receiving -1s, so I withdrew it. Nonetheless, I use it all the time (the withdrawn one didn't support syntax folding, because vim itself didn't support folding back then). Its in vimball format; you'll need a new vimball plugin to extract it. Directions for that are also on my website. The new vimball plugin has been fairly stable recently, so hopefully when the new vim comes out whenever this will be considerably simpler. Regards, Chip Campbell
