Sorry, I didn't save the original post....

Without restating that with SecureCRT you can't really be running an
xterm and thus can use the "features" that a real xterm will use....

Now, you want to change your colors.  Here is where the "help" of
SecureCRT comes in handy....

Go to "Options-->Global Options-->Appearance-->ANSI Color".  Under
"Normal colors" pick the left most box (black) and click on it.  Pick
White.  Then go back and click the right most box (grey/gray) and Pick
Black.

You are done....
