3220.0. "Bold Blanks on DECwindows Terminal" by ODIXIE::MCLELLAN (Make it so, Mr. Data!) Wed Sep 01 1993 14:19

    When developing an application you need to be carefull not to leave any
    bolded blank areas on an FMS screen. When PC emulators see this, they
    usually change the color of the bolded area.
    
    However this is NOT evident on a DECwindows terminal where there is no
    REVERSE-SCREEN mode (to my knowledge) on a DECterm. Is there any way to
    see these 'bold blanks' from DECwindows?

    Colin,
    There probably is a way to do this in a DECterm. Not many people
    round here know about it though! For this reason most ALL-IN-1
    developers keep an old VT220 on their desks to check their forms
    before submission. I probably have one of the oldest functioning 
    Rainbows here for just that purpose. :-)
    regards

    p.s. don't forget to bold one space either side of your form titles!
