Is there such a manual? I have the Technical Manual which is primarily oriented to the hardware plus the subroutine calls. I'm wondering about a manual which goes into more details (such as the escape sequences to control the screen in the builtin telecom program.) --henry schaffer P.S.- I still haven't heard from anyone about a list of the escape and control sequences.

I don't know about any software technical manuals, but The Waite Group has a book out called "Hidden Powers of the TRS-80 Model 100." It is a fairly good book with about 50 descriptions of important ROM routines. It describes in detail routines that involve the LCD, the Real-Time Clock, The Key- board, the communications devices, the sound generator, and the cassette port. Michael S. Leibow p.s. Esc code Function Esc j Erase screen Esc E Erase screen Esc K Erase to end of line Esc J Clear to end of screen Esc l Erase line Esc L Insert blank line Esc M Delete line Esc Y Direct cursor addressing (same as VT52 terminal) Esc A Cursor up Esc B Cursor down Esc C Cursor right Esc D Cursor Left Esc H Home cursor Esc p start reverse video Esc q end reverse video control code function 7 bell 8 backspace 9 tab 10 line feed 11 home 12 form feed 13 cr 27 esc p.p.s. These escape and control codes are not limited to telcom. These escape codes work in basic too. If you print a chr$(13) in BASIC, the cursor goes to the beg- inning of the line, not the next line. p.p.s. - here is a termcap entry for unix. t1|trs100|Radio Shack Model 100:\ :co#40:li#8:am:bs:bw:al=\EL:cd=\EJ:ce=\EK:\ :cl=\Ej:cm=\EY%+ %+ :dl=\EM:do=\EB:ho=\EH:\ :kd=^_:kl=^]:kr=^\:ku=^^:nd=\EC:up=\EA:\ :so=\Ep:se=\Eq:xt: --
