*This time* I found the solution myself. <g>
By loading vim as in `vim -V -D' I can step through
the order in which vim loads files. I could see that
that /usr/local/share/vim/filetype.vim was being loaded before
the abovementioned au commands. (Or in the case of gvim,
/usr/share/vim/filetype.vim)
The load is triggered from .vimrc (I think) by the following
code:
"" --------------------------------------------------------
if has("autocmd")
autocmd BufReadPost *
\ if line("'\"") > 0 && line("'\"") <= line("$") |
\ exe "normal g`\"" |
\ endif
endif " has("autocmd")
"" --------------------------------------------------------
so I moved the following:
> autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.lsp setf newlisp
> autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.lsp so ~/.vim/syntax/newlisp.vim
to a line prior to
if has("autocmd")
autocmd BufReadPost * .......

cheers
