Hi:
I remember when we use SQR for DOS if we want to bold a string then use
a encode variable that use the ASCII of the lineprinter that enable the
bold.  and after that we print that variable.

When use the sqr for windows then you can use the after-bold and
before-bold but use codes for windows printer.

I hope this help you
