I have an ADDS viewpoint terminal. I dial into an AT&T 3B2 running
unix system V. I have been programming in pascal using literal escape and
control sequences to create the effects that I want. For example, when I
want to underline I do : write ('^N'); the ^N is the proper string to use
for my terminal to start underline. I get the strings that I need from the
termcap file on my system.
My problem is that I want to control the position of my cursor in my
program. For example when using an AT&T 610 I would write :
write ('[y;xH'); I can not, however, figure out what to use for my terminal.
The entry in our termcap file is : 'cm=\EY%+ %+ '. I can't figure out how to
write that in literal terms for my program. Any help would be appreciated.
If you do not know the exact answer, I would apreciate an explanation of what
the string in the termcap means, such as, is it an absolute that only takes
one parameter ect... Thanks for any help. Please respond by e-mail.
