I noticed that on terms without boldfacing, you can make bj a
bit more flexible by going to the routine screen() and changing
the line that says

      # LOW INTENSITY VIDEO
      "dim"  : getval("mh"|"me")

so that it says

      # LOW INTENSITY VIDEO
      "dim"  : getval("mh"|"me"|"se")

or something like that.  The idea is that if you can't do a dim,
try just turning off bold or reverse attributes.

Note that the "old" way meant that if a terminal couldn't bold-
face or dim, bj would abort saying that your terminal was too
stupid, which in fact it was.
