how to record only one color of a fixture

Question

I am blank on this. I have some Chauvet Vesuvios and Geysers. I want to put ONLY red on a fader (or any other single color) and nothing else at all. Well I selected the matching fixtures and picked 0 for all colors except red which I picked 100. I then did a record only to a sub. The sub is set to I-master. When I bring up the sub the colors all fade from 100 to 0 and Red goes from 0 to 100. If I hit the bump it will flash red. 
 I just want Red to fade on and the other colors to remain at 0 the whole time. 
 
 Split similar question: 
 I have the subs set to Man for these fixtures and when I hit the bump they do flash on however when I have a par or leko recorded on a sub and the same settings the bump will not flash it on. 
 So not sure why the multi-channel fixture works but a single channel dimmer channel does not.

Those examples are single commands and they work (other than the + sign you don't type in although its displayed in some cases as previously noted). 
 In each case you do need to press enter to tell EOS to execute the command. 
 So in summary 
 channel x green blue 0 ENTER 
 is a single command that will set the green and blue to 0 
 channel x green blue record n ENTER 
 is a single command that will record the green and blue values on channel x into n 
 But 
 channel x green blue 0 record n ENTER 
 Is two commands mangled together and it will complain as soon as you put in the second verb ie the word record before you get a chance to finish the rest of the mangling, 
 
 Your last sentence above 
 "I would think that in my understanding of this instead of channel x green+blue 0 the operator should be setting the green and blue at 0 first and terminate the command then do a record sub #" 
 is almost correct other than the command channel x green+blue 0 ENTER, is exactly the command the operator types in to set green and blue at 0 first.
