" Comments:
" I use VIM mostly for writing code and decided it needed to chromacode dylan.
" Here is my first cut at some dylan syntax coloring for VIM.
" Put the files in " you $VIM/syntax directory (probably /usr/share/vim/syntax)
" and add the following lines to $VIM/syntax/syntax.vim :

" " Dylan - lid files
" au BufNewFile,BufRead *.lid       so $VIM/syntax/dylan-lid.vim
" " Dylan - intr files (melange)
" au BufNewFile,BufRead *.intr      so $VIM/syntax/dylan-intr.vim
" " Dylan
" au BufNewFile,BufRead *.dylan     so $VIM/syntax/dylan.vim
