Charles,

I have modified the Forth syntax highlighting a bit to better work with
SwiftX. One of the main things I added was folding of colon definitions. It
makes it simpler to see where things are.

You need to check out your _vimrc file for:
syntax on
filetype plugin indent on

Then you need to check filetype.vim for:
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.f setf forth

I'll send you the syntax file directly so as not to clutter the group.
