	According to my Terminal User's Guide dated August 1985, under the
	character attribute section. The Escape sequence for reverse video
	is ESC[7;7m  (this is 6 characters long). 4;4 is underline 0;0 is
	normal video. The cryptic method in which it is described does not
	mean the terminal is brain-damaged, rather the manual writer.

	I use a blit everyday with its multiple windows and good graphics,
	I can write text in one, draw my figures in another, troff them in 
	a third and have a "proof" window (which takes troff output and
	formats everything exactly how it will look in the printed output)
	going in a fourth window. All while reading netnews. This ability
	(with the exception of reading netnews) has greatly increased my
	productivity especially in writing software drivers and assembly
	language code. I can talk to the computer, and to my emulator board
	from the same terminal.

	I hate the keyboard, but that's another story.
