Hi,

I have just installed cygwin. The default for the bash shell is to have
white text on a black background. 

Can anyone tell me how to reverse this: black on white background? 
(I'm not an experienced Unix user, I mainly installed cygwin to have the
free C++ and fortran compilers on Windows
However, I did a search on the archive, which suggests it has something to
do with the termcap file, but I didn't understand what I had top change,
assuming that is correct.) 

Thanks,  Glenn.
