SCREEN SECTION processing in RM/COBOL

I am currently involved in a project to convert a suite of RM/COBOL
programs to a SCREEN SECTION based format. Currently all screens, and
screen handling routines, are implemented entirely within the
procedure division.

I would like to be able to assign attributes to screen section items
dynamically (colors, for the most part) and to be able to determine
which field in the screen has control on accepts and displays.

Any ideas on how to do this in RM/COBOL?

I would be extremely grateful for any suggestions.

TIA
