Hi, Chip and other script developers, I have an old Vim 6 lying around I use in 'emergencies' and discovered that it chokes on the hilinks plugin and others. The problem seems to be the :for command. Vim 6, it seems, is unable to even skip over it when it's in an if version>=700 or such conditional, but throws up errors such as 'return not in function' or 'endif without if'. Perhaps it sees the :endfor as ending some other block since it doesn't know about :for. Why it would do this, I don't know, but it seems to do something like that.
I don't know if there's a workaround, i.e. a way you can rewrite the plugin to still work on Vim 6 minus a few features. It would be nice if there were. But in lieu of that, I think scripts that use :for will need to :finish prematurely for Vim < 7, as simply putting the :for in a conditional on the version doesn't work.
