Syntax colour changing does work via .vimrc on the console. The
constructs are named differently: ctermfg, cterm etc.

The default however uses bright yellow and very light blue for many
things, which doesn't appear well on my white console.

Also, there is only a limited number of colours for the console. Your
scheme provided me with what I needed in order to play around for myself.

Well, I just started with it about a week or two ago, but I plan on
using this as my editor from now on.

Many of these were documented in the tutor, and others I have found
while reading other docs.

Thanks!
