A real DEC terminal would insist that the string be properly terminated
(with a ST - code 0x9c or an ESC followed by backslash). xterm accepts
a BEL (^G) for a terminator, probably because someone long ago decided
the standard terminators were too much trouble to send in a shell script.
XFree86 xterm accepts either -
xterm supports ANSI color, VT220 emulation and UTF-8
