Re: filetype unknown on startup

Thanks for the suggestion.

I tried adding:

filetype indent plugin on

and still got the same results.

I started vim without the .vimrc and the error was gone, so I then tried
commenting different lines out in .vimrc. When I commented out the syntax
and filetype indent plugin commands, it works fine. No error, and all the
features requested in .vimrc work. Here's the odd part; syntax highlighting
still works!

I see that vim has many individual syntax files. Could it be that that the
regular vimrc applies the proper syntax highlighting based on file name
extension if a color scheme is selected? There is code in that file that
looks to me like it might do that; but again, I don't know what I'm reading.
