I have just bought an Android tablet to use in preference to my
Android smartphone. I am trying to get colours to work in vile on the
new tablet but I'm failing at the moment.
Both have vile 9.8z installed. I have (I think!) copied all the vile
configuration files across from the old one (where syntax
highlighting works) to the new one (where it doesn't).
They have virtually identical .profile and .bashrc, they have
identical .vile.keywords and .vilerc files. Directory colouring works
OK on the new one but I can't get any colour within vile on the new
one.
I have tried running the syntax highlighting commands manually by
doing the following line by line in the new device:-
source filters.rc
setv $autocolor-hook HighlightFilter
setv $read-hook HighlightFilter
set autocolor=500
set bcolor=default
No errors are reported but there's no colours.
