You can control what gets highlighted and how highlighting is
performed by the `mono' statements in your .slrnrc (or system slrn.rc)
file. For example,
mono error "blink" "bold"
will display the error messages using bold and blinking text. If this
does not happen on the linux console, then your terminfo file is is
probably at fault.
Incidently, I beleive that the linux console emulates a vt102. You
might try setting TERM to vt102 if you have problems with the terminfo
entry for linux.
