Does anyone know where I can get a list of VT220/ANSI escape codes? I wish
to split the screen, save/restore the cursor position and other fancy things.
Thanks....

I couldn't find the complete reference (your best bet is a technical library), but the portion of VT220 ANSI codes that are used in the DOS environment are fully explained in the DOS Technical Reference Manual. You can also take a look at some files available on Simtel20: PD1:<MSDOS.SCREEN> ANSI-ESC.DOC Reference for ANSI escape sequences NANSI.TCP Unix termcap for NANSI.SYS NNANSI.* [New new ANSI.SYS - more codes are defined] [...] PD1:<MSDOS.SYSUTIL> ANSI-SYS.ARC Tutorial on use of ANSI codes [...] The `save/restore cursor' sequence is part of DOS' standard ANSI, NNANSI also has some features like `delete end of screen' and `insert line', but I'm not shure about `scroll up'. Hope this helps some Markus Fischer, Dpt of Anthropology, Geneva.
