You can download freeware WinVI and then do some color setting for keywords, or just play with it to understand more. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Bob Metelsky Sent: Thursday, November 11, 2004 9:48 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: silly vi question ummm does anyone use syntax highlighting for vi or vim? Id like to at least get .oracle- .sql and possible shell scripts. The black and white gets my eyes crossed in a few hours ;-) The syntax highlighting would be a god send! I googled for it but nothing is prominent, so I thought asking here would be more efficient than trying all sorts of things that dont work. Thanks Bob -- "Oracle error messages being what they are, do not highlight the correct cause of fault, but will identify some other error located close to where the real fault lies." -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
