No, my point was just that there are more files needed than just the 
.vimrc file if you want to do some extra customization. I'd like to 
change the syntax highlighting to specific colors for each group of 
keywords, and you can't do that in the settings file. I'm not even sure 
you can do that at all, or if you have to settle for pre-made color 
schemes. I haven't looked into how difficult it is to make your own 
color scheme. (And does vim support bold text?)
