Yes, it does, I've just tried it.

It hadn't occurred to me before to handle vile.keywords this way, much
handier than the way I was doing it before.  It's the vile help file
that pushed me towards the way I was doing it.  It was the references
to COLORDIR that suggested that there might be a better way - and
there is.

Has the COLORDIR stuff been added to the help file fairly recently
(like in the last few years!)?

Thanks anyway, using ~/.vile.keywords is a much better way.
