Re: vim and color


Dan,

Most likely all you need to know is where to put your color scheme files. 
If you're doing it all from Vim's "rc" file, then you need to use the right 
one: "~/.vimrc" / "$HOME/.vimrc". The Cygwin-hosted Vim is a non-GUI, 
Unix-style Vim (just vim or vi), _not_ a GUI, stand-alone one (gvim).

 From what little experience I have, the Vim docs and help system are 
careful to distinguish the graphic from non-graphic Vim configuration 
details. Use the ":help ..." command.
