Yes, it is quite nice. But I'm a little stuck. I'm trying to edit the 
.bashrc file with vim, so I type 'vim .bashrc', and nothing happens. The 
cursor moves down to the next line, but vim isn't really being invoked, 
the file doesn't open, but I also don't get any error message saying 
that bash can't find the vim command. I'm not sure why I won't work.

Also, is there a way to change the color of the user name and 
directories that appear above the $ prompt? I find the bright green and 
pale yellow not very easy to read with my white background.

Thanks.
