I thank your for your effort.
My /usr/openwin/lib/rgb.txt file has these entries:
102 102 102 grey40
153 153 153 grey60
If you have a fix and you cannot find a B/W terminal, I can test it.
You can email me the executable or give me the ftp address, I can download it.
For the time being I am using the following, even though I hate it.
MenuStyle maroon grey60 grey40 9x15bold mwm anim
On Black/White NCD, I do not get the nice shade on the selected item that
I see on Color monitor.
