Thanks John, that helped me figured out enough to make it work. I created C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vimfiles\filetype.vim and copied the code that Tony posted on Dec 27, 12:55 into it. Its not my $HOME, but I am the sole user of this PC, so I guess that's OK. Everything works. :set ft? filetype=text The unwanted coloring is out of the text files. Thanks for all your help. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
