how to reverse color in dos prompt window 2

[Owl]

Hi everybody!

Is there a way of reversing color in the Dos prompt window in Windows ME (98)? By default it is black background and white font color. How can I change it to white background and black color? I suppose I could add couple flags to cmd.com which runs the shell but what are they? Or should I modify win.ini or any other .ini/.sys file?

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Owl
