Sorry about the late reply, but I've been out of town for svereal
days.  I would suggest that one way might be to keep an open xterm window
for this.  Open the xterm using one of the color related parms, of which
there are several (see man xterm) dealing with how color attributes are
displayed, such as replacing color text with bold, etc.
