odd - that shouldn't matter (since it's black/white).

The missing reverse-video is a different thing.  I'd spent most of my time
making the initialization for the color configurations match.  The fix
"should" be as simple as adding some internal tables to handle the non-color
terminals and/or modifying the ".lss" files.

are some limitations, but my goal is to be able to use the color-style
code to replace most uses of the older simpler color scheme.
