I think it works like this, but this is only from some notes I had from
years back.
Example
MYCMD PARM1(x) STATUS()
And you want to highlight STATUS
STATUS is position 16 in the command string, therefore if you put binary
16 '00010000' in the first 4 bytes that should work.
If it does, great! If it does not then either my note taking is missing
something or something may have changed.
Will be interested in the results.
Thanks

Character position or field position?
I tried field position with no luck.
