Here is my colors section of my WIN.INI file.  Notice the last
six entries.  These are items which can be set by hand but which the
Control Panel doesn't recognize.  I believe that the ones you want
to change are the Hilight and Hilight Text options.

BTW, this color comibnation was recommended in the MS Programmers
Journal awhile back.  I think they are really great.
