changing terminal colours

[Alun Moon]

Hi all,
I'm running cygwin on an NT machine.

The default shell starts up with light text on a dark background.

If I change the colours from the DOS-window properties menu, then
although the colours change, things like the syntax highlighting in 
vim don't respond to the changes...

What's the mechanism for changing the colours within cygwin?

Many thanks

Alun
