Marcus, I'll take a look at this. I haven't rebuilt Vim in a long time, and it may be that it did not configure with color because it was not available at the time. I use VIM over a telnet session, which produces color fine because XTERM is known to have color. I'll fire up my Hurd monitor and see if I can correct the problem. Thanks, -Brent
