I am using SCO Xenix and I am trying to port some screen tools
which use ansi escape sequences from DOS to Xenix. Unfortunately,
Xenix console does not seem to support the sequence for save and
restore cursor position. Is there a workaround or undocumented
feature I could use to do this?

Save and restore cursor are not defined by ANSI.
DOS uses "^[[s" and "^[[u" for save and restore cursor.
SCO Xenix uses "^[7" and "^[8" for the same funtionality.
