Alternately, you can /set/ different highlighting colors by using a
color scheme (see ":help :colorscheme"). Make sure that you use a color
scheme with a bright background and dark text. Or else, view the file in
the GUI, which uses black text on white background by default, but
requires a windowing system such as Windows, Macintosh or X11 ("bare
bones" Unix without X11 won't do). You can then print with the same
highlighting, but it will (at least temporarily) display (mostly) dark
text on a bright background on your terminal too.
Best regards,

Thanks Tony, I am actually running KDE Linux and using gvim, is that
what you meant by viewing the file in the GUI, or did you mean the
opposite and that I would have to view it in the terminal window, all
the commands vim, vi and gvim, point to vim, which launches in a
separate window, so I'm not sure how to launch in a terminal window.
Many thanks,
Rob.
