+Allowed attributes are none, bold, dim, underline, blink, and inverse.
+``Normal'' is a synonym for ``none''; they should not be used in

+To specify both a color and an attribute, use `\&' to combine them.

+attributes any way it wants.
+For example, on some display systems a request for bold might yield

+On others, issuing an attribute request while another is already
+set up will replace the earlier attribute rather than combine with it.
