Works fine for me. Maybe you're using a "tiny" Vim or something? What are the first few lines of your :version output? The line 42 in my /usr/share/vim/vim73/syntax/syntax.vim is: doautoall filetypedetect BufRead Maybe you need to turn on filetype detection prior to turning on syntax highlight? I seem to remember someone on this list saying that "syntax on" automatically implies filetype detection, but it's worth a shot to put "filetype on" before "syntax on" in your .vimrc. This could also be "filetype plugin on", "filetype indent on", or "filetype indent plugin on" for more features. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
