This would reload the original colorscheme .. doing a "reset defaults" or rather original color scheme, if there is one .. so-to-speak .. right? I don't suppose there's any way I can save the current interactively- modified colorscheme to a file? What I mean is that .. I use a given colorscheme and make changes to it in a Vim session .. say, I want the cusor to be easier to see :-) .. or I don't like the reverse-vid effect that hilights searched/found items .. etc. So I play with all this stuff for 10 minutes until I like what I see. And when I'm done with my changes, I want to save them somewhere .. Now, I still need to copy the original colorscheme under a different name and edit it manually to implement my changes one at a time, am I correct? The way I do this is to split the screen .. so I have the colorscheme in one half and my sample practice file in the other .. So, I use the <UP> cursor key to retrieve my ":hi" commands .. gnu/screen to copy/paste them in the colorscheme in lieu or the original statements .. and save my changes to colorscheme_custom .. eg. Rather messy but safe .. As long as I can figure out which among the dozens of commands I issued were the "final" ones for a particular :hi feature, that is .. I wasn't too sure where I could look for this (keywords?) .. but I didn't find anything like this either in the tips/scripts or in the help files. Thanks cga
