How do you enable syntax? Are you setting it on manually? Or do you have a 
"syntax on" somewhere in your _vimrc?

This should have worked. Can you check with :scriptnames whether this file 
actually gets sourced? Hod did you determine the ~ directory? Maybe Vim is 
looking in a place you didn't expect for $HOME.

This should work on Unix-like systems but not on Windows, IIUC.

Line 16 should work, at least if "syntax on" is set somewhere above. You should 
actually be able to be more selective, with "au Syntax tex setl isk+=_" instead 
of matching ALL syntaxes.

They look fine to me, and the BufWinEnter should even take care of overriding 
any modelines.

In summary: you are using 3 methods simultaneously that each ought to be 
working if the files are actually being sourced. Double-check that these files 
are being sourced using :scriptnames. If the files do actually show up, try the 
:verbose set isk? command again. Maybe you can find a specific problematic line.
