Hello,

You'll need to use syntax commands, and you may need to open up the colour
viewer while you're setting these up.  First, to highlight some words using the
existing color groups:

  syn keyword Function  containedin=ALL word1 word2
  syn keyword Statement containedin=ALL word3 word4
  syn keyword Typedef   containedin=ALL word5 word6
  syn keyword Constant  containedin=ALL word7 word8
  syn keyword PreProc   containedin=ALL word9 word10
  syn keyword Operator  containedin=ALL word11 word12

There are a few more groups you could choose from.  Use this command to see
them all:

  :so $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/hitest.vim

If there's not enough colours for you to choose from there, you could make up
your own colour groups:

  syn keyword myColor1 containedin=ALL word1 word2
  syn keyword myColor2 containedin=ALL word3 word4
  syn keyword myColor3 containedin=ALL word5 word6

  " for GUI vim:
  hi myColor1 guifg=SeaGreen
  hi myColor2 guifg=#FF0000

  " or for color terminal:
  hi myColor1 ctermfg=Green cterm=Bold
  hi myColor2 ctermfg=Red   cterm=Underline

You could either put all that in an ftplugin file, or maybe inside a function
inside your .vimrc.

regards,
Peter
