Thanks for the info. I haven't understood why CGA 16-color palette is different than terminal 16-color palette, but I will try and find out. Another thing: what does NR-16 and NR-8 mean? I can't find these terms on the internet. Every hit I get is in the context of Vim. P.S. In the thread-top email, I mistakenly wrote "16-bit terminals" instead of "16-color terminals." I hope that didn't cause confusion. -- Enan -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
