You mean vim?  ;-)
I think you must edit /usr/share/vim/vim56/syntax/pascal.vim:

syn keyword pascalStatement   program unit uses begin end
syn region pascalComment      start="//"  end="$" contains=pascalTodo

to make vim recognize 'unit' and 'uses' and single line comments (//).

But can anyone tell me how I can call FPC (ppc386 or my own shellscript)
from within vim?  I haven't figured out yet...

I've been using FTE which has pascal syntax higlighting and can be made
to call the compiler by hitting <F9>, but its character set (font) is
very tiny on my gnome terminal, so I've started looking at vim.

The FTE editor can be found at sourceforge.net I believe.  (I you want
my config.files, look at http://www.tuxic.net/arne/ - download area.)
