Go ahead guys!

okay - here is another question:
which flle do i edit do add words for coloring? *e.g. i typedef long int to UINT32 and i want UINT32 to have the same color as a varible.

In your .vimrc:

syn MyWords UINT32 LJR pbharris vim
hi MyWords ctermfg=blue

Here's what it does. MyWords is a variable which conatins the words UINT32 LJR pbharris and vim. On the second line, we say, highlight MyWords with the color blue. You can change blue for something else.

hmm .. i just configured the colors in vim via a colorscheme that is loaded in the vimrc , but the problem is that the scheme wont work in a terminal ... like Eterm or xterm .. is there a way to do this ?

DOes it work in the console?

You wouldn't happen to know how to set Vim as the editor in Mozilla Composer, would you? *As far as I can tell, you can not use an external editor unless you, um, run it externally.

I don't know. I use mutt and mutt uses vim.

Do you get colours with commands such as ls? I have this exact same problem. I can get bold and underlined text in a terminal, but not coloured. I can get coloured text in the console though.

I can get colors if I do ls or if I use another editor like mcedit .. but it wont work with vim .. :-/

Try adding this line to your .vimrc file:
set background=dark

If this doesn't work, then it's probably your terminal. Do this command: export TERM=xterm-color and go back into vim. Tell me ifyou see colors

u could fix that by creating an alias like this:
alias ls="ls --color=auto"

put that in ur ~/.bash_profile and log in again (or type source ~/.bash_profile) and u'll always have colors with ls

no
linux itself will do that for u
just go up to a girl and say "hey sweet thing, i just compiled 2.4.16 on my LFS system"
if that doesn't do the trick u'll never get laid

Ha ha, that is seriously funny. I really want to go try that now.
