color scheme for files with arbitrary extensions

Hello,

I am having trouble enabling a color scheme when using vim with *hoc files. I am trying to use the "c" color scheme, and I can do that using ":set syntax=c" inside the vim session, but only for that one session. I'd like to do that for any session automatically.

I tried to add the following to .vimrc:

syntax enable
filetype plugin on
au FileType hoc set syntax=c

But there's no effect. Perhaps my vim doesn't look into .vimrc? There was actually no such file in my home directory in the environment I'm currently working under, so I created it and added to it those three lines. However, like I said, I don't get any colors when editing *hoc files.

If someone could suggest a solution, I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks!

Anton.
