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.
