Hi Ben,
When I go to the menu->syntax->show filetypes in menu at the bottom of vim
window the calling statement appears as :cal SetSyn("c"). That it was how I
worked out the 'enable syntax' statement. So, then I execute my statement
as :cal SetSyn("test.vim") and I have no error.
I thought the syntax is enabled (I had some highlighting effect). However,
having read your email I realised that the syntax is not enabled. I used
your syntax and everything is OK and works as expected! No default highlight
and problem with the new line anchor disappear!
Cheers,
Kamil
