vim is awesome, unfortunatly it's also not overly intuitive.  I've been
trying for a while now to get syntax highlighting working with the CLI
version.  Part of my problem is that I use three different terms,
xterm, dtterm (CDE on Solaris) and kterm (KDE)

KDE doesn't seem to adhere much to the traditional escape sequences,
which is kind of sad.

I think vim would be a great thing to have a teaching session on.
