Chip,

thanks for your helpful diagnostic tips.

I'll note :echo g:colors_name and :echo &ft  -- I feel like I've
scoured the interweb looking for the first command : )

I was getting a "plaintex" filetype for *.tex files.

However, what I've done (and will quite probably regret) is to edit ../
share/vim/vim72/filetype.vim:

in my file, line 1973 as starred below (not in the original) and
commented
...
func! s:FTtex()
  let firstline = getline(1)
  if firstline =~ '^%&\s*\a\+'
    let format = tolower(matchstr(firstline, '\a\+'))
    let format = substitute(format, 'pdf', '', '')
    if format == 'tex'
*      let format = 'tex' "was 'plain' *
    endif
...
and line 2006,
...
  " Translation from formats to file types.  TODO:  add AMSTeX,
RevTex, others?
  if format == 'plain'
*    setf tex  "was: plaintex

which seems to do the job ... for now.

pre-ps: apologies for having to mail separately from home (rhubarb)
and work (sb)

All the very best,

Steve
