Lutz,

Okay, I tried your method after backing out everything I did earlier.  I
do like your method and it is nice and easy and definitely not volatile.

Except that this isn't global.  If I su, then the colors come back on
me.  Any suggestions on how to make this global?   Useful on a machine
that only I use but might have multiple profiles for various reasons.

Thanks again for your suggestion.
