I don't think I posted my commented note about 99 but it says if you
use 99 it's supposed to cause the default (font) or foreground color

be from 2003

The whole syntax arrangement goes back even farther when I swiped it
lock stock and barrell from a fellow named Donavon:
[HP From Donavans .vimrc: May 20 2000]
But now I see how it works I can insert what I like. I think that 99
may have been an attempt to be more portable.
Thanks again.
This appears to be a nice smooth and easy look on a black xterm:
hi StatusLine cterm=NONE ctermbg=8 ctermfg=7
Dark grey background lightgrey foreground.
This sucks... I just noticed if I run `: so ~/.vimrc' that nifty
smooth thing turns black and invisible...
Am I wrong in thinking calling `:so ~/.vimrc' should not change anything?
Maybe it's time you put all your ":hi" commands into a separate colour
scheme (a script in ~/.vim/colors). I am attaching, as a simple
easy-to-understand example, the "almost-default" colorscheme I use in
the GUI.
Once you have written your own colorscheme, let's say
~/.vim/colors/reader.vim, invoke it by ":colorscheme reader".
Best regards,
Tony.
