I don't know the syntax to do it in vim but, if you run gvim, then click
on

	Syntax -> 'Show filetypes in menu'

and then click on

	Syntax -> AB ->

And choose the ASP type, you will get the syntax highlighting.

There are two ASP types listed.  

	locate asp | grep vim

gives me:

/usr/share/vim/vim70/syntax/aspperl.vim
/usr/share/vim/vim70/syntax/aspvbs.vim

So, in vim, you do:

	:set syntax=aspvbs

to use the ASP with VBScript syntax.

Oh look, I _do_ know how to do it in vim!....
