[comp.os.cpm] Guess that escape code...

SRUSSELL@UONEURO.UOREGON.EDU (Steven Russell) (08/16/89)

I needs a little help.  I am trying to patch a program for my TeleVideo 
TPC-1 that originally was designed to run on an Osborne 1.  Near the top
of the program are two escape sequences that I am unfamiliar with.  They
are <ESC>j and <ESC>k (1B 6A and 1B 6B).  Does anyone out there know what
these escape codes do for an Osborne, or similar terminal?  These codes
are not in the Osborne manual, and I am stumped!

Don't worry about miodifying your program to accomodate your
Televideo.  They both use standard ADM-3A sequences.  However, you
might want to keep your eyes open for ESC-Gx sequences, but I doubt
the Osborne supports those sequences.  Otherwise, you really don't
need to modify your program.  Have fun (Or at least try to... :)
