  Writing DECterm Text in Color? (take II) 
 The Question is:
 
Changing BOLD to alternate colors in Decterm.
 
I submitted this question and got the escape sequence codes as an anser.
Unfortunately I do not control the code that creates the Bold characters.  I
need to make the change default for the user without having to modify the
program generating the BOLD ch
aracter.
 
The questions is:
How do I make bold characters on the screen be an alternate color by default
in a decterm?  I do not control the code generating the Bold character.  I
can perform this function in a VT window using exceed.  Is this possible in
a decterm?

I also have an answer for question 2841:
Create a command file that does the following:
$ set noon
$! P1 = TCPIP address of remote PC
$! P2 = Screen number of remote PC
$ set display/create/trans=tcpip/node='P1'/server='P2'
$ create/term/detach
$ wait 00:00:05
$ exit
 
Put this command file on the vms system.  For this example I will put the
command file in TOOLS:[USER] and call it D_term.com
 
Then in Exceed they would setup a Xstart Client startup that is:
Start method: rexec (tcp/ip)
Program type: X window
Login: user, host, password
Host Type: Dec VMS
Command: @@TOOLS:[USER]D_TERM.COM @A @#
 
The only thing the user must do is login to the remote node once before
running this script so that they take control of one of the user licenses.
 
 
 The Answer is:
 
  If you do not control the application output, you will have to first
  use the escape sequence that selects the desired character set, run
  the application, then use the resume sequence -- this is basically
  what the DECterm color example displayed.  That said, this approach
  may or may not operate successfully, depending on what operations and
  what escape or control sequences the application utilizes.  This will
  also obviously affect all text displayed.
 
  The OpenVMS Wizard would also recommend contacting the application
  vendor for assistance with this request.
