I might suggest that as well.  Highlighting options with *only*
reverse video can be confusing in the case where there are exactly two
options (eg. Yes and No) - you don't know which one is supposedly
"reversed."

Alternatively, you could just assume that all terminals support
reverse video nowadays.  It should be unbelievably, stunningly rare to
find one that doesn't.

Have fun,
