COBATTR 

Changes the behavior of the high and low intensity attributes to
determine if text appears highlighted on your screen or not.

Syntax: 

     COBATTR=n 
     export COBATTR

Parameters: 

n       takes the values 0 to 3 as follows:

        0

        highlighted text appears in high intensity mode for terminals
        which support a high intensity attribute but no low intensity
        attribute, or in normal mode for terminals which support low
        intensity mode as the default mode for un-highlighted text.  This
        is the default.

        1

        highlighted text always appears in high intensity mode.  Low
        intensity mode is never used.

        2

        high and low intensity space characters are not assumed to be the
        same as normal mode space characters.

        3

        as for 1 and 2 above.

High and low intensity modes are as described in terminfo.  See the
chapter Device Handling and Terminfo for details.

      COBATTR=1
     export COBATTR
