terminal color partly working - need help

[hazmat]

I found the termcap entry below, which actually made vim be colorized. Neither lynx nor mutt are, though. I believe mutt did compile with ncurses as well. Anyone know what I might be missing here? Thanks.

I have since lost it to a bad disk crash but I did have mutt compiled w/ ncurses and it was fully colorized.

You might want to doublecheck the mutt compile or do a -v
on it as that will tell you the compile options.

I copied and pasted the termcap lines in this discussion thread to a .termcap file (and a termcap file, just in case). When I do a vim (6.0) on a file, I get this error first:

"test.sh" 4L, 48C
Error detected while processing /usr/local/share/vim/vim60/syntax/sh.vim:
line 321:
E394: Didn't find region item for shRepeat
Invalid argument: shUntilSync^Igrouphere^IshRepeat^I"\<until\>"
line 322:
E394: Didn't find region item for shRepeat
Invalid argument: shWhileSync^Igrouphere^IshRepeat^I"\<while\>"
Hit ENTER or type command to continue

And then there's just the original hiliting, with bold and underline instead of colors. Is there something else I should do to make colors happen in vim? Can someone put a step by step list of things to do to put color in vim?

Thanks,
