A better solution would be one which 1) does *not* hardcode the
colors, 2) *does* use inverse video ("7") and 3) displays
white-on-black.
Oh god, this man is insisting.
The default white color on terms without being able to change faces is lightgrey!
White is used for bold on such stupid terms, which is a more important emphasis to have than white.
Or how to define bold white then?
Some better terminals, like rxvt, know how to render Courier-Bold or Lucida-Bold, but CMD.EXE not.
Since our default is CMD.EXE and not rxvt, your desiderations (white on black) are bogus.
