I've messed with this a lot, and it depends on your terminal emulation. At work I have an RS/6000 on my desk and I can't get vim's colors to work in anything but AIX's crappy aixterm. If you can't get syntax highlighting to work in your term, try messing with your TERM variable and if that fails, terminfo hacking is the last resort. > > I also wish Vim was smarter about indents, like Emacs. add "set cindent" to your .vimrc.

Ah, you haven't discovered vim's nifty "gq" sequence. Read up on it a bit. For example, I'm in vim and type an entire paragraph, yet vim thinks it a single line. I go to the beginning of the line and hit gqG And it breaks my single line into multiple lines and left justifies everything. Very nice...
