[comp.os.minix] MINIX tty escape sequences

misha@nsc.nsc.com (Michael Umansky) (07/17/87)

In case someone doesn't know, the following are the only escape sequences
that the ORIGINAL V1.1 MINIX tty driver understands to control the screen.

	^K - cursor down  (control K)
	^L - cursor right (control L)
	^H - cursor left  (control H)

	Below, ^[ is the escape char (\033) and there are no spaces
	between characters of the escape sequence (spaces are used below
	for clarity only).

	^[ 32+x 32+y	Absolute cursor position (32 is in decimal)
	^[ ~ 0		Clear to end of Screen   ( ~ is literal char '~')
	^[ ~ 1		Reverse scroll 1 line    ( ~ is literal char '~')
	^[ z A		Set attribute to A       ( z is literal char 'z')
			A is attribute as supported by CGA/MDA in text mode.
