Usage notes
The Highlight method lets you set highlights regardless of the actual terminal type, although some terminals may not display these attributes correctly. Also, many terminal emulator programs allow local customization of highlighting attributes. Under either of these conditions, which are not detectable by the Screen methods, the actual display may not show the intended highlighting.
For an example using Highlight method calls, see “Screen class example”.
