Reverse video from within .profile

Hi there,

First, some specs: my system is running Sun OS 5.9, my preferred shell is BASH, and I generally connect using either Tera Term Pro (on Windows) or Niftytelnet (on Mac). I log in from many different computers throughout the day and would like to have my favorite background / text color combo wherever I go (and I don't want to have to configure the client software at each station). The default on both these programs is white background / black text; I'd like black background / green text. Can I do this using .profile? I played around with some escape sequences but haven't had any luck (the closest I came was reverse video for the text only, with the rest of the background still showing white). And exporting the DISPLAY variable won't work either since I only use terminal sessions. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
