14 Includes VT100 and VT52 Terminal and Control Codes
16 This file contains control and terminal codes for the VT100 terminals,
17 ANSI terminals, and VT52 terminals. Many of the codes were derived from PC/
18 Intercomm, from Mark of the Unicorn Software. I have researched some of them
19 and added some of my own.
21 Thank you,

62 -----------------
64 *In ANSI sequences, parameters are given as a string of ASCII digits
65 ('0' - '9') seperated by semicolons. Pn refers to a number whose value
66 used directly. Ps refers to a number used as a selector.
68 CURSOR MOVEMENT:

72 Cursor Down: Esc [ Pn B
73 Cursor Left: Esc [ Pn C
74 Cursor Right: Esc [ Pn D
76 Direct Addressing : Esc [ Pn(row);Pn(col);H or

137 --------
139 Print screen or region Esc [ i
140 Print cursor line Esc [ ? 1 i
141 Enter auto print Esc [ ? 5 i
142 Exit auto print Esc [ ? 4 i
143 Enter print controller Esc [ 5 i
144 Exit print controller Esc [ 4 i
146 LINE SIZE:
147 ---------
149 The following is a list of the available styles of printing on the
150 screen. "Yes" in any column means that the option is supported by the escape
151 code on that line. "No" means that the option is not supported by the escape
152 code on that line; however, it may, and almost certainly is, supported by
153 another escape sequence.
155 Double-height and double-width double the size of the characters in their
156 respective ways (ie. Double-height is twice as tall as usual). _Line
157 designates underlining. Blink is for blinking characters. Side is the
158 orientation of the character. Normal means that there is no orientation.
160 Top and bottom refers to the position of the character in order to make a
161 complete character. The top and bottom sequences will be important if you use
162 the double height option. You will need to print the line twice to get a
163 complete line. The first printing will print the top part of the characters
164 and the second printing will print the bottom part.
166 Inverse refers to the condition of the character. "No" indicates that the
167 character will be printed in the color it normally is printed in with its usual
168 backround. "Yes" means that the character will be printed in the backround
169 color and the character's backround will be the color it is usually printed in.
170 Shade refers to the brightness of the character. Normal is the standard
171 brightness of the character. Bright is bold type. Dark is a darker brightness
172 than usual.
174 The escape code is the command you would type before the text you want to print
175 to get the indicated effects. This section was greatly expanded in version 1.1
176 of this file.

203 No No No Yes Normal No Normal <ESC>#7<ESC>[5m
204 No No No No Normal Yes Normal <ESC>#7<ESC>[7m
206 * Some codes have been eliminated due to a repetition of effects. To the best
207 of my knowledge, these codes are complete and correct. If you should find
208 any errors, or you find some new sequences/effects, please inform me.
210 * <ESC>#3 and <ESC>#4 behave in the same way as <ESC>#3[3m and <ESC>#4[4m.

253 NON-VT100 CONTROL SEQUENCES:
254 ----------------------------
256 *Some VT100 terminal programs also understand a few other escape
257 sequences than the standard VT100. I cannot guarantee that any of
258 these nonstandard codes will work with any particular terminal, but
259 they may be useful if they do work.
261 Transmit a file Esc { T filenameCR ---> CR = Carriage Return
262 Receive a file Esc { R filenameCR ---> CR = Carriage Return
263 Append to a file Esc { A filenameCR ---> CR = Carriage Return
264 Save collected text Esc { S
265 Save collected text Esc S
267 * These sequences will probably be most useful in developing a micro
268 version of a VT100 emulator or in adapting an existing one.

343 or
345 Esc Z DECID:Identify Terminal (ANSI mode)
347 * For PC/Intercomm and some other emulators,
348 irrespective of the parameter(s) present, the
349 response is always
351 Esc [ ? 6 c
353 (i.e., a VT102) Other DEC terminals will respond
354 according to their configuration and mode.
356 Esc Z Identify (VT52 mode)
358 * The sequence Esc / Z is always returned.
360 Esc [ <sol> x DECREQTPARM: Request Terminal Parameters
362 * <sol> values other than 1 are ignored. Upon
363 receipt of a <sol> value of 1, the following
364 response is sent:
366 Esc[3;<par>;<nbits>;<xspeed>;<rspeed>;1;0x
368 * Where <par>, <nbits>, <xspeed>, and <rspeed>
369 are as for VT100s with the following
370 exceptions:
372 <nbits> Values of 5 and 6 bits per
373 character are sent as 7 bits.
375 <xspeed>,<rspeed>
376 These two numbers will always
377 be the same. 9600 baud is
378 sent for 7200 baud.
380 Esc [ Ps n DSR: Device Status Report
382 * Parameter values other than 5, 6, are ignored.
383 If the parameter value is 5, the sequence
384 Esc [ O n is returned. If the parameter value is
385 6, the CPR: Cursor Position Report sequence
386 Esc [ Pn ; Pn R is returned with the Pn set to
387 cursor row and column numbers.
