Mark, I think ANSI X3.64-1979 contains the info you want. It can be purchased from ANSI 212-642-4900. Tell them NCR is a member company and you'll get a 33% discount. -- John Lohmeyer John.Lohmeyer@Wichita.NCR.COM NCR Corp. uunet!ncrlnk!ncrwic!entec!jlohmeye 3718 N. Rock Rd.

IBM "escape" sequences may be semi ANSI compatible, but they aren't "really" ANSI. So the question needs to be asked "What does the sequence do on *what*?" From what docs I have, <ESC>[= is used for video mode commands. But all the IBM supported ones are of the form <ESC>[=#h or <ESC>[#l Yours is <ESC>[=#;#C so whatever it is, it is *not* an IBM sequence. It may do something under NANSI or one of the other extended ANSI programs. More likely it is a *real* ANSI sequence, in which case I would suggest contaxting ANSI directly. -- Leonard Erickson leonard@qiclab.uucp personal: CIS: [70465,203] 70465.203@compuserve.com business: CIS: [76376,1107] 76376.1107@compuserve.com
