Does NonText mean only the part of the document where there is
whtespace (spaces/tabs/carriage return)?

Hello,

Is there a way to change the background color of NonText. I know how to 
do it in Vim but I cannot find how to do it in Emacs.

Thanks,
Ben.

not sure if i understand correctly, but a quick 'n' dirty way would be 
to put something like this in your .emacs file:
(set-face-background 'default "black")

or if you are more adventurous:
(setq default-frame-alist
       `((background-color . "#F0FFF0") ; or "orange" or whatever
          ; other settings ....
         ))

see "Customizing Faces" in the manual for more information e.g. type
M-: (info "(Emacs)Customizing Faces")

or maybe visit http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CustomizingFaces
