Re: Change display attribute of message

Well, you've never upset the folks, have you?  <g>

So any of the attribute characters in _MY_ messages get converted?

My aim is to make an important message stand out.

Nulls (x'00') get displayed as that reverse image block. maybe all values
below x'20' and equal to x'FF' would show up that way?
