Using Extended Field Attributes
You cannot use more than one foreground color (that is, the color of characters
displayed on the terminal screen). In other words, you can assign only one foreground
color display attribute to a single mnemonic-name. For example:
LEGAL-MNEMONIC-6 IS RED.
Attempting to combine more than one foreground color display attribute in a mnemonic-
name parameter results in a syntax error. In the following example, ACTION-FIELD3
and ACTION-FIELD4 are not the same, because attributes are applied in chronological
order. ACTION-FIELD5 and ACTION-FIELD6, however, are exactly the same.
