One of our users has a new NEC grayscale monitor (64 shades of gray or
somesuch) and wants to work in reverse video all the time (black on
white, or light-gray).  Using ANSI.SYS and the appropriate additions
to his PROMPT command, it was easy to do at the DOS level.

Question: How can we convince WordPerfect 5.0 to maintain this reverse
arrangement and treat it as "normal"?  Right now when WP loads, the
screen reverts to white on black. 

Thanks for any help from those of you who have played with these GS beasts.
