How to start up Matlab in REVERSE VIDEO

X resources or command line options. Here is how to start the 
Matlab command window in reverse video:

There are 2 ways to start matlab up in reverse video:

        1. Start matlab with the following options,

                matlab -bg black -fg white

        2. Put the following lines in your ~/.Xresources file

                matlab*reverseVideo:             true

           This will take effect the next time you login or read your
           .Xresources file.  To have this take effect immediately, type

                xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources

           at the athena% prompt.

To get a Graphics window with a white background, use the the Matlab
command "whitebg", once Matlab starts up.
