SOLVED: Re: Vim error message when opening .ini file

OK!  This works! 
I've replaced the old dosini.vim file with yours posted above. 

Using this file now as my /usr/share/vim/vim90/syntax/dosini.vim file, I can open a .ini file WITHOUT getting any error messages.

Thank you, Christian!  

One question: should I be seeing some syntax coloring in a .ini file like the one I've opened in Vim?  Here is the file, which appears in "black & white":

You are likely running vim in compatible mode. Try the following syntax
file instead:

Once this is approved and you confirm it works, I guess we can
merge it into the runtime files.



Best,
