I have a desktop and newly configured laptop with different versions

The desktop has vim 6.4.6 which contains the lines in ~/.vimrc
set mouse=a

They show in :help
The laptop has vim 7.0.35 and gives an error on the above two vimrc
commands. Also they don't show in :help.
What has happened in vim 7? Are there replacements for syntax on and
set mouse?
These commands are fine. So, bring up your new vim and type:
:version
What does that show?

Hello Chip.
:version shows 7.0
The error I get is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] X11 # vi xorg.conf
Error detected while processing /home/lba/.vimrc:
line 52:
E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version: syntax on
line 121:
E538: No mouse support: mouse=a
Press ENTER or type command to continue
Where line 52 says:
syntax on
and line 121 says:
set mouse=a
