When I type "syntax on/enable" in the Command Line of Vi Editor as I do in other Vi editor, It says that "E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version"
Then, how to enable color text in Vi ?

What an amazing release of DSL, I love it very much because of it's small size.

DSL's Vim was compiled without syntax highlighting support, which means that no matter what you try you won't get it to do it.
There is a vim.uci myDSL extension that provides syntax highlighting and some other features that were disabled for DSL.
