Thanks for the help. I tried as you suggest and those do work for me.
What I did was add, as was suggested, four lines to .Xresources ~
xterm*colorULMode: on
xterm*colorBDMode: on
xterm*colorUL: magenta
xterm*colorBD: blue
That resulted in a display I could read, but still with some color. Your
suggestions produce a man page display in black on the white field which
is what I asked for.
Thanks.
