Note that the ^[ should be a literal escape character.
Most vim colour schemes will need to be customised a little to look decent in this mode although some such as xterm16 are designed for it.

+You can automatically enable syntax highlighting when starting a new vim text. vim is smart and can automatically adjust the highlighting by looking at the extension of the file. For example, ''vim test.py'' will automatically have python syntax highlighting.
+
+If you are already in a document and wish to enable syntax highlighting, then use this command.
+
+*:set filetype=<language>
+
+eg: for python highlighting:
+
+*:set filetype=python
+
+or bash Highlighting:
+
+*:set filetype=sh
+
+What syntax highlighting language is currently being used?
+
+*:set filetype
