To install GDLedit for Vim, you can simply copy the downloaded VIM file to your home directory and then use the command :source ~/gdl.vim to switch highlighting on.

Alternatively, perform the following steps:

1. Copy the downloaded VIM file to the directory $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/
2. Add the following line to your .vimrc file (this file is usually to be found in your home directory):
:autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.{gdl,vcg} source $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/gdl.vim

(Normally, the value of $VIMRUNTIME is ~/.vim.)

Now, Vim should automatically recognize GDL and VCG files. You can switch highlighting off and on in the editor by using the commands :syn off and :syn on.

For further details about Vim syntax highlighting, type :help syntax. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact aisee@absint.com
