Hi,

When I edit a "*.sh" file vim doesn't show it with colored syntax highlighting. Below are some configuration information.

Any hint?

<<snip begin>>

/openp1/opencobd->echo $TERM
aixterm
/openp1/opencobd->uname -a
AIX cobrosr 3 5 00C7A4B24C00
/openp1/opencobd->cat .vimrc

syntax on
set ruler

if has("terminfo")
let &t_Co=8
let &t_Sf="p1%dm"
let &t_Sb="p1%dm"
else
let &t_Co=8
let &t_Sf="dm"
let &t_Sb="dm"
endif

<<snip end>>

Thanks in advance,
Jose Luis

Thanks for you help.

I finally got vim's colored syntax. These are the steps that I followed:

1) On my telnet client (Secure CRT) select "xterm" as Terminal Emulation and the checkbox "ANSI Color"

2) Add "export TERM=aixterm" to my ".profile"

3) Copy "$VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim" to "$HOME/.vimrc"
