[Both of the other previous replies contain good information, so I'll
not duplicate that here]

The editor must be compiled with syntax coloring support:

sh$ vim --version|grep +syntax
+signs +smartindent -sniff +statusline -sun_workshop +syntax +tag_binary 

Also, you might have to tweak with your TERM env. variable.  coloring
only works with TERM=xterm and TERM=xterm-color, IIRC.
