It's possible to turn reverse video on and off by sending escape sequences
to the console.  The sequence ^[[7m turns it on and the sequence ^[[m
turns it off.  (I use this in my prompt to draw a black bar across the
screen between commands).  Sending the second sequence, followed by a
clear, should set your screen back to normal.
