This is exactly the keyword you are looking for.  Unfortunately, it was
designed for dumb green screens.  Newer colour terminals (including
emulators) tend to interpret DSPATR(BL) as the colour red.  If you want the
colour terminal to blink the red field, try DSPATR(HI BL).

If this answer doesn't really help, consider posting to MIDRANGE-L.  You'll
find a broader experience base over there.
