ok, here's what my .vimrc file looks like now:

[cjb@semaphore puzzler2]$ cat ~/.vimrc
set syntax=enable
set background=dark
set number
set tabstop=4
set nohls
set ic
autocmd!
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.cpp,*.h,*.c,*.c++ set cindent shiftwidth=4

and the cindent works as expected.  but now my syntax highlighting doesn't work...what gives?  =/

thanks,
-- christopher
