Thanks for taking a close look and making corrections. I think there
are a few remaining unclarities. It may be semantically correct, but it
doesn't mean it's clear to the reader (and for many readers English is a
second language).
How about this (also including the text for \v, since it's similar):
Use of "\v" means that after it, all ASCII characters except '0'-'9', 'a'-'z',
'A'-'Z' and '_' have special meaning: "very magic"
Use of "\V" means that after it, only a backslash and terminating character
(usually / or ?) have special meaning: "very nomagic"

The "term" settings are for monochrome terminals, whose text can be bright or dim, or reverse-video, but where no contrasting colors are possible. I had such a video screen (a yellow-and-black CRT on a Hercules graphic card) when I started using MS-DOS on a PC-AT several decades ago, but nowadays AFAIK they are only to be found in museums. The "cterm" settings are for text-only color videos, and the "gui" settings are for gvim (or for the MacVim GUI). > > I am using MS Windows both in GUI and command prompt mode.

When you start it as "vim", and it displays your edited text inside the DOS box, it uses the "cterm" settings, unless 'termguicolors' is on, which is not the default. When you start it as "gvim", or when 'termguicolors' is on, it will use the "gui" settings. It would only use the "term" settings if you were running on a monochrome terminal; I'm not sure Windows can be used on such a terminal. See «:help 'termguicolors'» about what kinds of hardware and software are necessary for that option to work. > > Looking for your answer...

Question about color settings
Hi, I have made some VIM color schemes, but I still have some problems. The most disturbing is the difference between the term... and cterm setting. I did look it up on the net, but could not find appropriate information. Can anyone help? I am using MS Windows both in GUI and command prompt mode. What kind of terminal is set when I start VIM from a DOS command prompt?
