Re: Display attributes of WDWTITLE

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Have you tried:
WDWTITLE((*TEXT 'Title') +
        (*COLOR GRN) +
        (*DSPATR RI))

Two comments that might make the view more appealing:
 - use contrasting colors for the title and border, like GRN & YLW or 
BLU & TRQ.
 - Use colors that set the window apart from the colors on the 
background screen.
