Thanks Hellmut, Jeremy and I are using 1.4.x. Sounds like 1.5.x is better and more sophisticated. Something to look forward to. I hope with 1.5.x I can still do it the way I do it in 1.4.x, because the way I've been doing it can create almost any conceivable text appearance. In my new book "Learn Vim Tonight: Use the Worlds Most Productive Editor Tomorrow" I had a text style called ex, which I used only on the word ex (the line editor part of vi) so that it stood out, looked funky, and was immediately recognizable as a special word. Thanks SteveT
