}iActually, Jeff, Apple's CloseView cdev supplied with system 6 will
allow you to do that.  You must turn magnification off, leave CloseView
on, and turn in "white-on-black" mode.  It will also reverse colors on a
Mac II (my green desktop appears pink).  I haven't checked whether it
will turn on magnification automatically upon startup (it might, you
know) but if it's properly written (ie Human Intf Guidelines and not chang-
ing stuff behind the user's back) magnification should remain off
until you specifically turn it on.  Hope this is what you needed.
