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

    Hope this helps, N
