+" Vim syntax file
+" Language:	LotusScript
+" Maintainer:	Taryn East (taryneast@hotmail.com)
+" Last Change:	2003 May 11
+
+" This is a rough  amalgamation of the visual basic syntax file, and the UltraEdit
+" and Textpad syntax highlighters.
+" It's not too brilliant given that a) I've never written a syntax.vim file before
+" and b) I'm not so crash hot at LotusScript either. If you see any problems
+" feel free to email me with them.
+
+" For version 5.x: Clear all syntax items
+" For version 6.x: Quit when a syntax file was already loaded
+if version < 600
+  syntax clear
+elseif exists("b:current_syntax")
+  finish
+endif
+
+" LotusScript is case insensitive
+syn case ignore
+
+" These are Notes thingies that had an equivalent in the vb highlighter
+" or I was already familiar with them
