RE: Display Screen problem

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One thing I've noticed is that in an emulation environment, it's difficult
to be sure what the end users will actually see since they normally have
control over the appearance of the screen.  All it takes is one person who
discovers that it's possible to change the screen colors.  I'm not saying
it's bad, but I don't think it's reasonable to expect that you'll have much
control over it.

With Client Access and most terminal emulators there is an attribute mapping
option, which will let you map any attribute  to any combination of
foreground/background color as well as actual blinking.

Hello everyone,

I have a question along the same vein.  How about reverse highlighting
instead of blinking?  Same results?

Thanks

Sharon

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that BLINK only works on monochrome displays
... I think the blink attribute turns red on color displays (of any type).
