The syntax files which describe what to highlight for each file type are in $VIMRUNTIME/syntax which on redhat 9 is: /usr/share/vim/$VERSION/syntax The online help for vim is really quite good. When using vim type: :help syntax and you'll get oodles of info. Good Luck, Sean -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
