help with vi

[vhg119]

everytime i startup vim, i would like to have it already setup with :set cindent and :syntax on.
instead of having to enter it everytime when i start vim.
anybody know how to do this?

I'm even more of a novice with vim than you, just guessing from your question, but have you seen if anything's possible in "~/.vimrc" ?

**Hmm, I've got 2 of these files there...** :confused:
