I want to thank those people who responded to my original query by mail.
However, I apparently did not make myself very clear.

I realize that every other byte in the video space is an attribute
character. That was not the question.

There is a DOS function that prints out a string (terminated with a $) on
the screen. This string is printed out with an attribute that I presume
is determined in one of the following ways:

	1) always normal intensity
	2) whatever attribute was at that location before
	3) a "default" attribute that is set somewhere in DOS

The question was (and still is), if option 3 is what is used, how can
I set this default attribute? I want to print out a string in bold using
the DOS function (if I can get away with it), but don't want to use
ANSI, NANSI, FANSI, etc.

Thanks
