Hi,

I am wondering why my syntax highlighting is not working on a particular 
machine.

I am executing the following:

1. vim (enter into vim with certain scripts and plugins)
2. :syntax clear (remove all the existing syntax info)
3. :syntax case ignore (treat [a-z] as [a-zA-Z])
3. :syntax match option "^[a-z][a-z ]*[a-z]$"
 (match each line which starts with a lower (or upper)-case letter, ends with a 
lower (or upper)-case letter, and contains, in between, (0 or more characters 
picked from the set: {lower (or upper)-case letters, space}).)
4. :highlight link option statement (colorize text which matches option with 
statement-color-scheme).
5. I am typing in insert-mode in the current buffer - foobaz (this matches)
6. I hit the enter key to go to the next line.
7. I am typing in the current buffer - FOOBAZ (this erroneously does not match).

I am wondering why my step 7 is not producing the expected syntax highlighting 
result.

This code idea comes from the man ftplugin. Something in it wasn't working on a 
particular machine which led me to where I am now.

Thanks.
