Wolfgang,
I use a different STATAREA color for most systems.  We have more than 21 
systems, and I don't like blinking, so there are a few duplicates.  I don't see 
the problem that you described.  My status area color always stays what it 
should be.  
Perhaps your terminal emulator is at fault?

Subject: [IBMVM] Coloring the STATUS area

I'd like to give the STATUS area different colors on different z/VM
systems.

The command "SCREEN STATAREA color" in the CP directory seems to be a
solution. 
However, the desired result appears only after hitting the CLEAR key
while after hitting ENTER the "default" color blue returns - wherever
this default comes from.

Is this a bug or a feature?
Are there other possibilities to get that done?
And what is before the virtual machine gets control over the terminal?

Thank you,
Wolfgang
