Several people have asked about xterm style highlighting in emacs; some of
whom may have not realized that it requires patching emacs's C code and
recompilation ...

A patch for setting attributes (underline and inverse) was posted to
gnu.emacs on 19 Dec 89 by Kenichi Handa (handa@etl.go.jp) ; you may want
to ask him for an up-to-date version (I have a copy of the posted one, but
never got around to try it).
