HOWTO use the files gap.vim, gap_indent.vim with the

     `vim' editor  (http://www.vim.org/)

I have put the following lines in my ~/.vimrc  file:

-------------------    from  ~/.vimrc  -------------------------------------
if has("syntax")
  syntax on             " Default to no syntax highlighting 
endif

" For GAP files
augroup gap
  " Remove all gap autocommands
  au!
  autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.g,*.gi,*.gd set filetype=gap comments=s:##\ \ ,m:##\ \ ,e:##\ \ b:#
" I'm using the external program `par' for formatting comment lines starting
" with `##  '. Include these lines only when you have par installed.
  autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.g,*.gi,*.gd set formatprg="par w76p4s0j"
  autocmd BufWritePost,FileWritePost *.g,*.gi,*.gd set formatprg="par w76p0s0j"
augroup END

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then I copied the file GAPPATH/etc/gap.vim to: ~/.vim/syntax/gap.vim

Since  I  have  now  installed  vim  6.0  I'm  also  using  the  new  indent
functionality.  For this  I copied  the file  GAPPATH/etc/gap_indent.vim to:
~/.vim/indent/gap.vim

details according to  your personal taste. Send comments  and suggestions to
