Hello Steve,

 >> remains default when I enable syntax).

You are right. Syntax highlighting only works well with X. On the 
console, to the best of knowledge, there is no way to change the colours 
through vim's rc files.

I am really glad you like my colour set. Please pass it on to anyone 
who might be interested.

I do not know what your level of expertise with Vim is. Provided you are 
or intend to be serious user and that your knowledge is somewhere in the 
range of beginner to intermediate, I might be able to help a little 
further. Attached is vimref.txt (in a zip), which I created as a 
mini-reference for everything I found useful for daily work. Please go 
through this file AFTER running vim's own tutor.

Some lines from my .vimrc which you may find useful :

set backspace=2 whichwrap+=<,>,[,]
vnoremap <BS> d

set autoindent
set nobackup
set nohlsearch
set nonumber
set ruler
set linebreak
set wrap
set laststatus=2
set tabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
set noexpandtab
set showmode
set nocompatible
set vb t_vb=
set display=lastline
set ignorecase
set nomodeline


And finally, a few lines from my .gvimrc :

set columns=98
set lines=49
set font=-b&h-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-m-*-iso8859-15
set guioptions=agimr
set vb t_vb=
set gcr=a:block-Cursor-blinkwait0
hi Cursor guifg=white guibg=black
autocmd GUIEnter * winpos 136 28
syntax off
