That's interesting, Paul.

I've done 3 Potato installs, two were fresh and one is an upgrade over
Slink.  I've wound up setting the $VIMRUNTIME variable after each install.
However, I think this may be more of a secondary shell issue than a vim
issue.  I noticed that after a clean setup, when vim is called from mutt,
it complains that it is unable to locate the syntax files.  Setting the
variable fixes that problem here.  I do recall vim being able to find
the syntax files if started from an XTerm.  I also recall the problem
existing if mutt calls vim at the console as well, so it may well be
that the problem is how my ~/.bashrc file is configured as the trouble
occurs in a secondary shell.  I start all my XTerms as login shells.

Thanks,
