Subject: Setting the color of the window (frame?) border.

Hello All,

I'm using Emacs based on two different builds.  At home I've got a Mac
and I'm using Emacs.app built out of MacPorts.  At work I'm using the
latest Emacs binary distro from GNU for Windows XP 32-bit.  On both
systems I regularly start Emacs with `-fg white -bg black -cr white`
to set up a basic color set that I think works very nicely.  At work
on Windows, this works very nicely with dark gray borders on the
windows (so when you get the 'line continuation' arrows you can see
them on the background).  At home, on the other hand, they are white.
This is pretty bad, as most of the status things that show up in that
little border are also white.  As a side note, the cursor on the Mac
is also solid no matter what, so when I go over a character with it,
it blocks it out rather than allowing me to see it in a reverse video
fashion.

How do I fix this?  I'm primarily interested in getting my Mac install
to behave like my Windows install.

Thanks in advance!
