Larry Hall, responding to my earlier posting, suggested I post a follow-up following the reporting guidelines.
See my root post for the general description.
Larry suggested I move all my configuration files out of the way, open my .bashrc and type :syntax on.
I moved my vimrc and .vimrc files to a temp dir from ~ and user/share/vim and usr/share/vim73 and opened a new window. :syntax on still does not work.
I tried moving my .profile and .bashrc files as well. :syntax on still does not work.
I enclose my cygcheck log.
Thanks for your help!,
John
