I'm not sure if this is a Dec$Windows question, a DEC Motif question or a TPU question, but since this is the only group dedicated to one of the three, I'll try here ;-). I'm running TPU out of a DECterm on a VS3100 with Motif. I don't have the /whatever=Decwindows option activated (I spend enough time in a location where I have only VT340 access that I don't want to develop two sets of editing habits). My problem is that finds and replaces flag the characters in bold print - but it's the same color as all the rest of the text. On the VT340, the flagged characters were in a different color, which certainly made them a lot easier to find. I've found the references to BOLD as an attribute (along with UNDERLINE and REVERSE) to control how the 'hits' of searches should be flagged, but have found no way to define what BOLD means. Is there any way to make it imply displaying the 'hit' with one of the ANSI text mode color sequences? If so, setting BOLD to the equivalent of CSI 1;33m would be the best of all worlds - seems that VT340's ignore the 33 while DECterms ignore the 1 so the behavior is similar on either display (at least this worked in .com files that were using SGR commands). Any thoughts? Thanx JHCox
