[net.micro] Radio Shack VIDEOTEX Terminal

Dehn.DEHN@mit-multics@sri-unix.UUCP (08/29/83)

Does anyone know what control sequences, if any, are accepted by the
Radio Shack TRS-80 VIDEOTEX Terminal?  This is (was) a terminal based on
the same hardware as the Color Computer, but with a builtin modem and
terminal program (in ROM).  The documentation that comes with it does
not say what codes it will accept.  I am particularly interested in
knowing if there is any way to control color or cursor position.

To a limited extent, the TRS-80 Videotex terminal is VT52 compatible
(as much as a 16 X 32 line terminal can be.)  I have a data sheet
listing all ESC sequences; there are options to download 6809 programs
and some other goodies.  I will look for this and get back to you.

Sorry for doing this as a followup, but I can't figure out how to
mail to ARPAnet.

Steve Dyer - could you please PLEASE type that list of commands for the
VIDEOTEX terminal in and post it to net.micro? I have part of it, but
want the rest!
