The "xterm" man pages refer to a document called "Xterm Escape Sequences", which I cannot find anywhere. I am looking for the sequences which can be sent by a host select the VT100 or the Tek mode. Would someone who knows the sequences please mail me either the specific ones I'm looking for, or the list of Xterm escape sequences? Thanks in advance, -ravi ps: I basicaly want the host to send the escape sequence to switch to Tek mode, draw something on the Tek screen, and then send the sequence to switch back to VT100 mode.

I rummaged around through the xterm code and came up with the following stuff. No guarantees. I'm headed out of town for a couple days and thought it better to get it out than let it get stale. Comments, bugs, and other notes are welcome. Somebody else can convert it to troff. I prefer LaTeX. :-) I will try and get to the Tek mode stuff when I return, although I doubt it's changed much from X10 XTerm. I gleaned the basic stuff out of the charproc.c code, by hacking VTparse() so it spit out leaves of the parse tree. I was mildly surprised to see things like "ESC # BEL" turn up. For most folks, the most interesting stuff will probably be "ESC ] Ps ND string NP" down near the bottom. That's what you use to change the icon and window labels, and the log file name. Most other things appear the same as the X10 documentation, although a few DEC-ish mode parameters (42, 43, 48, & 49) seem to have disappeared. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BEL Bell (Ctrl-G) BS Backspace (Ctrl-H) HT Horizontal Tab (Ctrl-I) NL Line Feed or New Line (Ctrl-J) VT Vertical Tab (Ctrl-K) NP Form Feed or New Page (Ctrl-L) CR Carriage Return (Ctrl-M) SO Shift Out (Ctrl-N) -> Switch to Alternate Character Set SI Shift In (Ctrl-O) -> Switch to Standard Character Set ESC BEL (Same as non-escaped BEL) ESC BS (Same as non-escaped BS) ESC HT (Same as non-escaped HT) ESC NL (Same as non-escaped NL) ESC VT (Same as non-escaped VT) ESC NP (Same as non-escaped NP) ESC CR (Same as non-escaped CR) ESC SO (Same as non-escaped SO) ESC SI (Same as non-escaped SI) ESC # BEL (Same as non-escaped BEL) ESC # BS (Same as non-escaped BS) ESC # HT (Same as non-escaped HT) ESC # NL (Same as non-escaped NL) ESC # VT (Same as non-escaped VT) ESC # NP (Same as non-escaped NP) ESC # CR (Same as non-escaped CR) ESC # SO (Same as non-escaped SO) ESC # SI (Same as non-escaped SI) ESC # 8 DEC Screen Alignment Test (DECALN) ESC ( BEL (Same as non-escaped BEL) ESC ( BS (Same as non-escaped BS) ESC ( HT (Same as non-escaped HT) ESC ( NL (Same as non-escaped NL) ESC ( VT (Same as non-escaped VT) ESC ( NP (Same as non-escaped NP) ESC ( CR (Same as non-escaped CR) ESC ( SO (Same as non-escaped SO) ESC ( SI (Same as non-escaped SI) ESC ( C Select G0 Character Set (SCS) C = 0 -> Special Character and Line Drawing Set C = 1 -> Alternate Character ROM Standard Set C = 2 -> Alternate Character ROM Special Set C = A -> United Kingdom (UK) C = B -> United States (USASCII) ESC ) C Select G1 Character Set (SCS) C takes same values as above ESC * C Select G2 Character Set (SCS) C takes same values as above ESC + C Select G3 Character Set (SCS) C takes same values as above ESC 7 Save Cursor (DECSC) ESC 8 Restore Cursor (DECRC) ESC = Application Keypad (DECPAM) ESC > Normal Keypad (DECNM) ESC D Index (IND) ESC E Next Line (NEL) ESC H Tab Set (HTS) ESC M Reverse Index (RI) ESC N Single Shift Select of G2 Character Set (SS2) ESC O Single Shift Select of G3 Character Set (SS3) ESC [ BEL (Same as non-escaped BEL) ESC [ BS (Same as non-escaped BS) ESC [ HT (Same as non-escaped HT) ESC [ NL (Same as non-escaped NL) ESC [ VT (Same as non-escaped VT) ESC [ NP (Same as non-escaped NP) ESC [ CR (Same as non-escaped CR) ESC [ SO (Same as non-escaped SO) ESC [ SI (Same as non-escaped SI) ESC [ ?

No guarantees. Well so did I... I hacked in the following escape sequences for those who like to have secure keyboards when they type in their passwords... set secure keyboard ESC ] 3 NP (NP is a non printing character) unset secure keyboard ESC ] 4 NP *** misc.c.link Wed Jan 11 20:24:12 1989 --- misc.c Mon Sep 18 12:52:18 1989 *************** *** 724,729 **** --- 724,738 ---- Changetitle(buf); break; + case 3: /* set xterm secure mode */ + if (!screen->grabbedKbd) + xdomenufunc(0, CurrentTime); /* XXX constant zero! */ + break; + + case 4: + if (screen->grabbedKbd) + xdomenufunc(0, CurrentTime); /* XXX constant zero! */ + break; case 46: /* new log file */ if((cp = malloc((unsigned)strlen(buf) + 1)) == NULL) I haven't yet completed my rlogin and telnet aliases, but they may look like this... alias secure 'if ($term == xterm) echo -n "^[]3^G"' alias unsecure 'if ($term == xterm) echo -n "^[]4^G"' alias rlogin 'secure;\rlogin' alias telnet 'secure;\telnet' alias ftp 'secure;\ftp' Then... in your .login or .cshrc on the various hosts to which you login unsecure This way you need not fuss with the ctrl Button1 menu each time you type your password. Also system administrators and modify system, or network wide /bin/login programs and log scripts (klog) to provide these escape sequences for users in the default case. NOTE to the X Consortium: I didn't think too hard about *where* to put the new escape sequences. And wouldn't want these to stick, because they are surely not mapped in the *correct* spot in the escape code space, and because from looking at my modified code it isn't too cool having a 0 instead of the real #defined XMENU_GRABKBD. But I (and ?others?) would like to see this functionality in the R4 xterm, because it makes the (normal persons, not the consortiums) secure X environment much easier to use. -- Marty.
