In keymap files, you often see pairs of commands like the following:


highlight  Cursor guifg=NONE guibg=Green
highlight lCursor guifg=NONE guibg=Red

The lCursor statement appears to control the color of the cursor when  
the keymap is set/selected (which is rather useful--if you use  
multiple keymaps, the colors can be differentiated to help tell you  
which one is active).

But  :help lCursor   returned no information.

If you type  :help Cursor, you get the example

        if has('multi_byte_ime')
            highlight Cursor guifg=NONE guibg=Green
            highlight CursorIM guifg=NONE guibg=Purple
        endif

with CursorIM.

Could someone please clarify the following:

1.  What is the effect of the 'highlight Cursor' command?

2.  Are lCursor and CursorIM equivalent?  If not, what's the difference?

3.  I've also seen examples with ctermgb set, e.g.   highlight lCursor  
ctermgb=red guibg=red
What's going on here?

Thanks,

Ken
