I am using version 1.x of the XView toolkit.  Is there any way to
highlight (inverse video on a monochrome monitor) the PANEL_VALUE
of a PANEL_TEXT Panel_item programmatically (i.e. to draw the user's
attention to a specific text string)?  I need only worry about
the monochrome case and I am ONLY interested in highlighting the
PANEL_VALUE NOT the PANEL_LABEL_STRING.  In other words it would be
nice if there was a PANEL_INVERSE boolean attribute that I could
set to TRUE.  

A short code sample or explanation would be MUCH appreciated.
Please e-mail me directly since unfortunately I don't have time
to read this newsgroup as often as I would like.

Thanks in advance,

Could be either address since we are currently in a gateway
