VIM Syntax Coloring

I’m used to having lovely syntax coloring in VIM using a terminal. Alas, when logging in to my Textdrive account it was not to be. It didn’t bother me enough to do anything about until just a few minutes ago.

So. Put the following in .profile

<code>TERM=xterm-color; export TERM
CLICOLOR=1; export CLICOLOR</code>

And make sure the following is in your .vimrc fileā€¦

<code>syn on</code>

Ooooh. Pretty.
