[comp.windows.x] Xterm Escape Sequence documentation

I want to be able to cause the Tektronix window available from
within an xterm window to be exposed/deexposed on demand and 
and be able to draw into the Tektronix window - i.e. switch between
VT and Tek mode.  This allows for a quick band-aid and let's the product
get out the door, while we right a genuine X interface.

I am lead to believe, from the xterm manpages, that there is a document
that describes the escape sequences that are recognized by xterm, and that
what I want to do is possible using escape sequences. Where do I get a copy
of said document.

The fabled xterm escape sequence manual....
I can answer one of your questions:

  "<esc>[?38h" puts you into Tek mode,
  "<esc><etx>" gets you out.

I also hacked our xterm to switch to Tek mode on a <gs> character.
