I recently upgraded vim in cygwin from vim63 to vim73.=A0 I am running cygw=
in (with vim) on a Windows XP (version 5.1, sp3) machine.=A0=20

My problem is that syntax highlighting, which has worked fine for me in eve=
ry previous version of vim suddenly doesn't not work.=A0 I have not modifie=
d my vimrc files, so I'm at a loss to know what has changed.=A0=20

I have looked at the vim documentation and some online tutorials.=A0 I seem=
 to be doing everything I need to do to get syntax coloring to work.=A0 I h=
ave turned on syntax in the /usr/share/vim/vimrc and in my .vimrc file in m=
y home directory.=A0 I have tried explicitly typing :syntax on in vim.=A0 I=
 have tried replacing my vimrc files with sample vimrc files that are suppo=
sed to work.=A0 I have tried explicitly indicating syntax with the :set syn=
=3D<syntax-type> command.=A0 =A0Nothing seems to make a difference.=A0=20

Looking in /usr/share/vim/vim73/syntax, I see all of the syntax files there=
, including the file types I'm testing (such as python.vim, etc.).=A0=20

The cygwin window can represent colors just fine.=A0 For example, ls --colo=
r works, but nothing I do seems to turn syntax coloring on.

There is nothing extraordinary about my installation of cygwin or vim or th=
e configuration of my machine, so I'm guessing this is a problem many cygwi=
n/vim users have had, but perhaps there's something that makes me unique.=
=A0 Or maybe I'm doing something wrong, I just don't know.=A0=20

What should I try next?=A0 Thanks.=A0=20

Best regards,
John
