3023	-b, --nocolor options not working usefully	dnied		"The '-b' and '--nocolor' mc options don't produce usable output because the selection bar is not visible. Mc should probably use inverse-screen for the selection bar when asked to go colorless.

Experimenting with $TERM, I found that mc actually draws an inverse-screen selection bar, though only if TERM=xtermm (but then the arrow keys don't work). Mc should draw it like that for any value of TERM, when '-b' or '--nocolor' are specified.

Verified on 'xterm -cm', with and without GNUscreen.
