 The different VIM colour scheme definition files are located at ''/usr/share/vim/vim90/colors''.
+====nocompatible====
+Original vi had some strange key bindings, e.g. the cursor keys did not function
 ====vim syntax color====
 If syntax color is not working in the file ''.vimrc'' (''vim ~/.vimrc''), add the following line ''syntax on''.
 ====vim line numbers====
+In .vimrc, add ''set number relativenumber'' other options include:
+  * ''set number'' sequentially numbers from top at 1 to bottom.
+  * ''set relativenumber'' sets current line at 0 and numbers sequentially from 1 above and below
+  * ''set number relativenumber'' sets current line at actual line number and numbers sequentially from 1 above and below
+  * ''set nonumber'' set numbering off
+In visual mode '':set number!'' toggles the current number setting.  Probably can not use this one in ''.vimrc''.
