Thanks John, that helped me figured out enough to make it work.

I created C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vimfiles\filetype.vim and copied
the code that Tony posted on Dec 27, 12:55 into it.
Its not my $HOME, but I am the sole user of this PC, so I guess that's
OK. Everything works.

:set ft?
filetype=text

The unwanted coloring is out of the text files. Thanks for all your
help.
