Actually, VMS is directly involved here as it's the VMS commands I wouldn't
mind seeing colour support added to in order to highlight values and
information just as z/OS does.

Here's an example of how colour can be used to highlight the display
of information in a text mode application:

That's a _lot_ better than displaying everything in a single monochrome
colour.
