I would highly recommend you install a package called color-theme.
There are dozens of prebuilt color themes available, and you can
create your own as well.

By "unix" colors, I mean the default that one gets on at least some
installations of Emacs on *nix...a green background (with yellow fg?).
Is there configuration code I could copy into my .emacs to do this? I
started down the path of trying to guess what the defaults are and putting
those in my file, but that seems a rather naive way of going about this,
especially if it's already taken care of with a module or someone else
.emacs config.
Thanks!

C makes it easy for you to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes that harder,
but when you do, it blows away your whole leg.
