The file:

 ~/.vimrc

with the contents:

  syntax off

turns off the eyesore^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hcolors.  However, the "view" command
then starts getting an error:

Error detected while processing /home/user/.vimrc:
line    1:
E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version: syntax off

(where "/home/user" is the path to your home directory).
