Yes, this is the standard SGR sequence as implemented in pcvt, but what he
meant was to show a way of assigning an attribute (i.e. a color) to a 
standout mode (i.e. underline) - so i digged deep in my old mail archives
and found the mail where Bruce sent me the patch (i really hope it is ok
in this case to quote private mail):

  Thought I had told you about this.
  
  I use this in ~/.profile to set some colors.
  
  case $TERM in
  pc3)	printf '\033[0x\033[2;6x' ;;
  pcvt*)	printf '\033[0;4;37;44m\033d\033[0;7;37;44m\033d\033[0;36;40m\033d'
  esac
  
  And this hack to change the attribute table in pcvt.
  
  Bruce

  [what follows is the patch now enclosed in #if PCVT_SETCOLOR in pcvt_out.c]

Hope this helps,
hellmuth
