- Summary: CON: status sequences
-
- Hello
-
- How exactly do the console (CON:) sequences regarding querying the
- window size, cursor position etc. work?
-
- I open CON: with MODE_READWRITE, write the window status request escape
- sequence to it (errrr was that <esc>[q) and tried to read the reply.
- But, no reply showed up!
-
- I'd like to query the size of the CON: window, so I can use it for
- text viewers/editors etc.
-
- Any help appreciated,
- Irmen
