	Hm. I have a feeling that's not actually what the problem is, but it
sounds like it would be a moot point anyway.

	Well, on my machine, the important file is located in:

/usr/share/vim/vim73/syntax/tex.vim

On your Mac, the tex.vim syntax file will be located under the "syntax"
folder of wherever your Vimfiles are. Inside Vim, you can try:

:echo $VIMRUNTIME

to see where to start looking for the "syntax" folder.

	You then could try copying "tex.vim" into your own ~/.vim/syntax folder
(which I *think* (??) will take precedence over the system one). You can
then edit it and search for "cite". You should find a line like:

syn match  texRefZone		'\\cite\%([tp]\*\=\)\='
nextgroup=texRefOption,texCite

which matches \cite, \citet, and \citep. There are several options. The
simplest is probably to try adding a similar line like:

syn match  texRefZone		'\\shortcite\%(\*\=\)\='
nextgroup=texRefOption,texCite

for shortcite (and do something similar for your other options).

	Well, natbib is completely compatible with the chicago BST style. It's
just a different set of macros that provides me with some nice features,
especially when I hop across journals that have very different editorial
conventions. Anyway, another moot point.
