The problem is that _nothing_ is highlighted. That is, nothing on the
console or in ViM.

See below for additional comments...

Well...both ;-). I use Bash 2.05b and ViM 6.1. Both do what I need in
Linux. But when I try to configure them in FBSD they don't work.

I know that I've got the ViM config correct but I'm less proficient with
Bash. Thus, I'm deducing the problem's related to a Bash configuration
issue. With Red Hat, the default global bashrc (/etc/bashrc) supports
syntax highlighting (of files, directories, RPMs, etc). These same
settings don't seem to work very well in FBSD.

Is this config for the default /bin/sh shell? Will it work with Bash?
