Hi, I've asked this before but have lost the answer. Vi assumes the background is light and when viewing a config file all the lines that are commented out are dark blue on a black background. There is/was an option to convince vi that the background is dark which made it select bright blue for the foreground for the commented lines. I can't find it in man vim or in the help files. I'm running RH7.3 with vim 6.1.265. I'd sure appreciate a hand on this. Thanks. -- Bob Holtzman "If you think you're getting free lunch, ......check the price of the beer!"
