[CLUE-Tech] vim highlighting and KDE

[ian]

I have no problem getting vim to do syntax highlighting in KTerminal.

Also have no problem with xterm.  (Sorry.. dont' have a Solaris box handy)

Couple of quick duh questions to get us up to speed.

1)  Do you have "syntax on"?
2)  If your using RedHat did you install the vim-enhanced RPM?  The standard
one has syntax highlighting turned off during the compile.
3)  Do you have all the highlighting files install correctly (mail.vim etc)?
