Hi.
This is a response that I got to answering a user's question on getting
xmh to appear in reverse video. For some reason xmh doesn't listen to
*reverseVideo in a .Xresources file. After a little experimentation and
checking the man page for X, I told him to use
xmh*Foreground: white
xmh*Background: black
xmh*BorderColor: white
instead. Here is the response I got.

Thank you for your answer to my OLC question. I had attempted to use
the declarations for Foreground and Background, but nothing resulted from
it. The problem lies in the 'man' page of xmh. The tokens representing
the background and foreground were shown as 'BackGround' and 'ForeGround'.
As you see, the 'g' is capitalized. So, when I used these tokens, the
manager didn't understand them and ignored them. If you could contact someone
who can change the man page, I think it would solve that problem.
Thanks again.
