I found from the following section of the FAQ, how to make the mouse selection 
appear in reverse video.  I would like to make the regular selection - between
point and mark, appear in reverse.  Anyone have an idea?  Please Email any
reponses.  I'll send to FAQ maintainer.

^  The style bound to motion::style has default settings as follows:

^    (set-style-underline motion::style (foreground))

An alternative I'd prefer is a visual indicator of the mark.
I think making the region reverse video would be very distracting most
of the time, and it would be nice to have something less obtrusive
that requires no keystrokes.  Does anyone have something like this?
