After spending ages trying to understand the syntax and highlighting 
to get the colours/colors in Vim to look nice, I realise that when I 
display a Man page some keywords are disappearing into the 
background, because of the default command window properties choices. 
If I change the props the vim colours/colors are shot to hell, so I'd 
like to understand how bash decides what keywords to highlight and 
where those colours/colors are defined? 

I can fire escape sequences through the command prompt to change 
colours/colors quickly (BTW how's that work? No ANSI.SYS on this 
winXP system - Oh I see there's one in the cygwin area, is that it?) 
as a quick fix but I'd like to understand this better.
