Xview tools accept most of the arguements you could use with Sunview
tools, including the -Wb (background) and -Wf (foreground) options, so the
following will give you inverse:

shelltool -Wb 0 0 0 -Wf 255 255 255

You can make this the default for all your windows by putting the
following two lines in your .Xdefaults file:

Window.Color.Background:	0   0   0
Window.Color.Foreground:	255 255 255

Warning:  Some tools may not handle inverse particularly well.  For these
I've discovered that making the background a dark gray (say, 150 rather
than 255) and keeping the foreground black  works pretty well.
