Hi Charles,

I put the lines into cygwin's /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after/syntax/
netrw.vim. In place of "hi link netrwCopyTgt Unique", I put

hi netrwCopyTgt term=bold cterm=11 gui=bold guifg=yellow

When I editted a directory path and netrw is invoked, I pressed "a" to
cycle through the hiding list modes until nothing was hidden. I got
the error:

Error detected while processing
/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after/syntax/netrw.vim:
line 5:
E492: Not an editor command: nextgroup=netrwList

I then commented that line out. The effect of netrw's "mt" was to
highlight the words "Copy/Move Tgt:" in the header. The target file
itself was not highlighted. Is that what the commented line should
have done?
