Well, you could write a virtual terminal program that effectively  
intercepts the data stream, scans for the unwanted display  
attributes, and replaces them with something you find more appealing.  
Note that a simple search-and-replace will not suffice. You will need  
to parse the 5250 data stream and replace ONLY those bytes that are  
attribute bytes.

Seems like an awful lot of work for very little gain.
