Earlier someone posted the following commands for MacTerminal
Insert Line esc [ pn L Insert pn lines at the cursor
Delete Line esc [ pn M Deletes pn lines starting with the cursor
Insert Char esc [ pn @ Insert pn blank characters at the cursor
Delete Char esc [ pn P Deletes pn characters starting at the cursor
These work. BUT they gobble the next characters and interpret them as
commands too. To see this, go into local mode and type:
abcde <ret> <esc> [ 3 LLLMMM@@@PPP
You will see that each L causes 3 lines to be inserted, each M causes 3
lines to be deleted etc. Surely this is a bug. (This is with
MacTerminal 1.1.)
