Author Red highlight in vi?

Ok I am modifying a file and when I was changing some of the settings I inadvertently did something to highlight some of the text. Actually the highlight is not red, more of an orange/maroon color. Here is an example of what I am seeing; this is from /etc/sysconfig/network.

NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=blah

HOSTNAME is the portion highlighted. This is not causing any problems but I want to know what I did and how to undo it.

Thanks in advance for any help. I know I should remember how to fix this but I am having a brain fart.

thanks,
mitch

You can change it by altering your .vim or .exrc file. This is a vim problem and you change it by altering your configuration file.
