Ok. I set my .vimrc as above. Now if I open a file in konsole, or in xterm the :set bg? shows that the background is set to dark. However, in konsole the highlighted string is shown in brown background. where as in "xterm -bg black -fg white", the highlighted string is shown in yellow background. Why are they different when all the config files are same? Can I get xterm's colors/behavior in konsole? thanks raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/
