Hello,

I'd like to use vim (from aix linux toolbox) with colored syntax highlighting for shell-scrips, html, php and perl. How can I do this?

I installed vim-common and vim-enhanced, but when I edit a file and type ":syntax enable" it only gets grey, black, bold ... but not colored. Why doesn't it work?

Thanks for your help,
Janko

P.S.: GNU ls is installed and "ls --color" is working well.

I use to use this and from memory I had to use an aixterm (not xterm) and it is critical to get the TERM set right.

I have not read the details but this article looks like what you need:
