Add the option to change 5250 color's when using command line switches

When using command line switches to automate 5250 sessions it would be great to be able to change the text color in the 5250 session. This removed the need to have a .HOD file and if a user saves a hod file it is ignored as the new session is built from the command like as follows


.\acslaunch_win-64.exe /PLUGIN=5250 /SYSTEM=system_name /NAME="any_name" /wide=1 /nosave=1 /ssl=1 /wsid=a_workstation_id*= /watermark


If there was a colour switch we could have a development session easily identifiable other than a watermark


This method of starting a session is great from CITRIX

    Thank you for submitting your Idea to enhance IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS). Since there are a variety of attributes which can be changed and a variety of custom colors to choose from, it would be best to customize the color settings from the 5250 display session and save them to a .hod file. We have no plans to support this from the 5250 command-line plugin.
