- You can always check the Simel archive, but you will probably need the
- escape codes that do things like clear the screen, position the cursor,
- etc. These can be derived from the terminfo files on a System V Release 4
- Unix system. There is an uncompiler for these files know as infocmp. It
- will produce a text version of the codes from the termcap entry--and it
- will give them in severl different forms. Try the man page for terminfo
- for help on interpreting the results of running infocmp. O'Reilly also
- publishes a book entitled _Termcap and Terminfo_ which may be helpful.
