[DuoList] LCD questions

[Samual Acorn]

using 'black night' a $30 emulator that isnt anywhere near worth
paying for(the emulation leaves much to be desired)... but its what im
stuck with... datacomet works too but it uses thicker text for bold
rather than brighter text... and wont allow me to use non-reversed
video or use custom hight and width text to make the window fill the
screen without having to scroll... (right now black night is set to
use 102 colums and 38 rows.. fills the screen with a 9pt font
perfectly)

reverse video is possible... but only properly on PC laptops that
switch the video in hardware... if i set a mac terminal to use reverse
video then run something that uses ansi colors (links for example)
then that something will turn the background black and the foreground
light again..... (it doesnt stay reversed)... besides.. the linux
console is white (or color) on black.. reversed it just looks weird...
 (not used to such)

i asked the tint question because the 'active lcd color gamma' option
in the 'monitors' control
panel makes the colors a lot brighter (abnormally brighter)... but the
haze is still there so i figured a black tint (not colored) would get
rid of the haze and the gamma option would negate the darkened text
problem (improving contrast)... or at least thats my hypothesis...

looking for input
