I use a VT-100 in black-on-white-background mode, and a Concept AVT in
black-on-bright-orange-background. They seem the best for a lot of text
work. We're presently testing CAI on law students who have never worked
on terminals before, and this mode seems to be generally preferred.

Interestingly, a student told me yesterday that the hard part for her
was getting used to reading text vertically (i.e., on a screen which
holds the page in mid-air, which she looks across at). She found it
a big shift from looking *down* at printed text on her desk.
