What is this SetSyn function? I've never heard of it and it doesn't seem to be defined in my Vim installation. Normally you would set syntax with: set filetype=someft or set syntax=someft which will automatically load your someft.vim syntax file if you put it in the correct place. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
