CCS PC/VI has a termcap entry which when used with the version
especially compiled to interaction directly with the BIOS allows
for specifying foreground and background colors.  It contains four
attributes:

	1.  co#80 	Number of columns on the output device
	2.  li#25 	Number of lines on the output device
	3.  SO#???	Specifies the attribute byte to use for 
			standout mode.
	4.  AT#???	Specifies the attribute byte to use for
			normal mode.  The least significant four bits
			are the foreground cololr; the next four bits
			are the background color.

Can anyone add more detail to items 3 and 4.  I would like to use
them to add color to my PC/VI editing sessions.  Thanks.
