Thanks Randall upon further investigation (and putting .vimrc in my home directory on not gvimrc doh) I've discovered that color-coding is working if I use the command window. However, if I use rxvt, I lose color and instead get text emphasis in bolds and underlines. Obviously, I'm missing something but not sure what.
Ideas appreciated Dan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Randall R Schulz Sent: Friday, January 11, 2002 9:13 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: vim and color Dan, Most likely all you need to know is where to put your color scheme files. If you're doing it all from Vim's "rc" file, then you need to use the right one: "~/.vimrc" / "$HOME/.vimrc". The Cygwin-hosted Vim is a non-GUI, Unix-style Vim (just vim or vi), _not_ a GUI, stand-alone one (gvim). From what little experience I have, the Vim docs and help system are careful to distinguish the graphic from non-graphic Vim configuration details. Use the ":help ..." command.
