[net.general] ANSI mode for text enhancement?

rickc@iddic.UUCP (04/13/84)

How about using ANSI X3.64 standards for text enhancement on net articles?

Specifically, the ^[[ (escape left bracket) 0m where 0 can be an integer to

specify underline, highlight, inverse video, &c. (This is the 'select graphic 

rendition' command.) 

	o  Does anyone know of terminals that absolutely die
	   when they receive an ^[[ sequence? 

	o  What will the news software do to this poor escape character?

I know that the terminal that I am using (a Tektronix 4112) does not mind

getting an ^[[ when it is not in ANSI mode.



						Just an idea,
