19.0. "Reverse video would be very useful..." by COOKIE::JOHNSTON () Tue Feb 24 1987 12:37

I haven't yet installed 07, but already I'm thinking of enhancements!  
There has been much discussion and there has been ongoing study about 
providing color in documentation to highlight text such as user input.  
I know that you have a set of tags to label such text.  Seems to me that 
using reverse video to highlight things like this might be an 
inexpensive answer to colored text.

Of course, there should be limits on when to allow reverse video because 
if it's used all over the place it loses its impact.  The same is true 
of color or anything else you use to highlight text.
