Change text color on Wyse60 emulator?

I need to change the color of some on-screen text to red.

I'm using Progress 8.2, character mode, on OpenServer. The display is a terminal emulator (AccuTerm) doing wyse60.

"COLOR DISPLAY INPUT" changes the text red, but also underlines it. I can change how AccuTerm displays INPUT text, but that will change all INPUT text.

Wyse60 is a monochrome terminal. But shouldn't I be able to insert control codes in front of text to display as bold, dim or blink? If yes, then I can tell AccuTerm to display one of those styles as plain red text.

Thanks for your help,
David
 
you might look at OS-COMMAND("tput xxx") where xxx is the terminfo parameter you want to output.

example for bold (or standout) on

tput smso

and for bold (or standout) off

tput rmso
