"2:which-keywords cmode"

gives me this:

Show which keyword-files are tested for:
        cmode
(* marks found-files)

$cwd
  ./.c.keywords
$HOME
  ~/.c.keywords
  ~/.vile/c.keywords
$startup-path
* /usr/share/vile/c.keywords

REV:1.465               vile.hlp            2000/01/13 11:41:02       cmorgan

   add a section on color basics, made several other small revisions.
