I want to add a new filetype with extention .pn. For this I
had done following:

I went to vim installation directory i.e. vim73 and I edited
filetype.vim. I added following line

au BufNewFile,BufRead *.pn              setf potion

in between augroup filetypedetect and augroup END

Am I doing any wrong?

What I recommend is to add a new filetype.vim in one of the
following places (shown as they would appear in Vim):

- Single-user on Windows

        $HOME/vimfiles/filetype.vim

I actually prefer creating a file per filetype in
$HOME/vimfiles/ftdetect, as detailed at the beginning of :help
new-filetype

I agree that Ansuman should put his changes in one of the preferred
locations, but I sure can't see why they're not working for him
where they are.

Agreed.

My best guess is that filetype detection hasn't actually been enabled at
all.

Does issuing

   :filetype

give any insight?

Another possibility is that there are two installations of Vim on the
machine. Does

   :echo $VIMRUNTIME

give any insight?

Ben.
