VIM Question

[bludstayne]

For some reason, VIM does detect that .cpp files are for C++ (syntax highlighting). Is there another format that it uses instead? Maybe cc or cxx?

Could try checking out
:help syntax
or
:help new-filetype

So, basically I should just RTFM?

Yes.... If you do ':syntax on' do you get syntax highlighting?

[bludstayne]

Yes, but when I start a new file, and then save it as a cpp file, it doesn't do the syntax highlighting. It only works when I load up files.
