Hi Pete,

I'm using the ADDS Viewpoint A2 Enhanced emulation. AccuTerm is set to use a shared message and status line.

I can output a message on the message line using the Escape sequence documented under Wyse programming. But this always seems to print in "normal" colour.

I did have some success in applying a visual attribute using the ESC A n a sequence. But I wanted the colour to be variable, rather than fixed to the style.

I also managed to use the SetText method to write to this part of the screen, but I'd prefer not to use a script for this purpose.

Is there any (other) way to apply coloured text to this area using the standard escape sequence (ESC F message CR) ?

Thanks,

Brian

Hi Pete,

Don't worry about the above question. After playing around some more, the use of SetText is working quite well.

Cheers,

Brian
