Thanks for the help.  I tried as you suggest and those do work for me.

What I did was add, as was suggested, four lines to .Xresources ~

xterm*colorULMode: on

xterm*colorBDMode: on

xterm*colorUL: magenta

xterm*colorBD: blue


That resulted in a display I could read, but still with some color. Your
suggestions produce a man page display in black on the white field which
is what I asked for.

Thanks.
