Syntax highlighting in your editor is a function of the editor.
In vim, do :h highlight. Try :syn on to see if your copy of vim
has syntax highlighting enabled (some versions, for example, the
default RedHat vim packages, don't). If you built it yourself, it
most liely does. If that doesn't do anything, make sure your TERM
variable is set to something that understands colors, like rxvt
or xterm-color (or possibly xterm, depending on which ncurses you
are using).
