% Or better, 
%   {cmd,shell}tool -Wf 255 255 255 -Wb 0 0 0 -Wg
%
% This gives inverse text area as well as just the border.

- Why not do a: shelltool -fg white -bg black
-
- It works fine.

All these combinations still don't work... for me !!

I'm  using  the  OpenWindows "xnews" server  as delivered by  SUN with
SunOS 4.1 on a monochrome  screen (SPARCstation SLC)  and I can't  get
reverse video shelltools !

Are you using SunOS 4.1.1, another version of OpenWindows ?
