Color Coded Vim
 

I use vim at home and when I ssh to work and use vim there are no colors in the program (it is not a big deal but is nice when syntax highlighting is occuring during development) so does anyone know where I define the colors for vim or why the colors would show up via ssh to the remote server when running vim?

There should be a file ~/.vimrc, in that file should be the line
:syn on
If you don't see colors that line may read
:syn off
change it to :syn on
I had the opposite problem, I hated the colors and wanted to turn them off.:)

no ~/.vimrc

I do have a .viminfo but it doesn't have anything like :syn in it

any other ideas?

Create one and put it in.

Thanks!

Your wellcome, hope it helps
