   If in doubt I'm inspecting (according to :help) what Vim shows me   
   when I'm typing ':set rtp'. There's a couple directories and mine   
   shows (for and on a Unix system) '/usr/share/vim/vim73' so my 'sh'   
   default syntax file would be '/usr/share/vim/vim73/syntax/sh.vim'.   
      
   But there's more directories shown in that path list that appear   
   before the '/usr/share' path, and I have also a local directory   
   '~/.vim/after/syntax/sh/...' where some changes to the default   
   behavior for 'sh' are defined.
