Shafer Stockton said something like :

see /usr/share/vim/doc/syntax
at about line 57ish, there's three lines :
> if &t_Co > 1
> syntax on
> endif
insert these lines (without the '>' 's) into your $HOME/.vimrc. Then, invoke vim as :
vim somefile.extension
Depending on the extension of the file, vim will use the syntax highlighting for that language. Note that the file doesn't have to exist for highlighting to work.
( I was trying to find this very piece of information out last night !! )
