Dear Bob, dear Forum, This is a quite old mail, and you could also access this information in the file GAPROOT/etc/README.vim-utils of your GAP installation or by asking the GAP help: gap> ?vim > and some things seem to work fine (automatic folding and completion) > but there does not seem to be any highlighting going on.

Indeed, the default configuration of vim has changed in some version, and now the 'gap.vim' file must be copied to: ~/.vim/syntax/gap.vim Thanks for the reminder, I will adjust the documentation for the next GAP release. Except for this small detail vim is very stable, and I didn't change anything in the vim-files for GAP for a long time. Bill Allombert suggested to include the files in the vim distribution. I didn't do this because there is already some other syntax file for files with .g extension.
