Hi there,

I am connecting through putty to a linux server, where I'd like to use 
vim and its syntax highlight. However, I cannot figure out, why it 
doesn't work for me.

I googled for an hour by now, read all similar forum posts and read all 
through
http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/usr_06.html#06.1
and
http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/syntax.html#xterm-color

Tried (almost) everythnig describe there, but still no effect.

Some helpful info:
- When I type "ls" (in bash), I see colored results (directories, 
symlinks, etc.)
- filetype is correctly detected (typing :set filetype prints out 
correctly "filetype=perl"
- when I type ":hi Normal ctermfg=green", all text is green
- when I type ":hi Comment ctermfg=Cyan", nothnig happens.
- when I type ":syntax" (in Vim), it says "No Syntax items defined for 
this buffer"

Probably the parser would't work well? Doesn't recognize perl comments 
and other structures (functions, variables, ...)? Just an idea, don't 
have a clue, what the reason is.

Has somebody some idea please?

Thanks and HAND
Alex
