- ESCAPE SEQUENCES
-
- There are many escape sequences. They can be used to:
- control the location of the cursor (see the CURSOR_CONTROL topic)
- control the monitor mode (see the MODE_OF_MONITOR topic)
- control the colors displayed (see the ATTRIBUTES_OF_MONITOR topic)
- reassign the keys on the keyboard (see the ASSIGNMENT_OF_KEYS topic).
-
- The general format of an escape sequence for the PROMPT command is
-
- $e[<some string of characters>
-
- The "$e[" in each sequence must be entered as exactly those three characters.
- The ANSI.SYS program (see the "CONFIG.SYS DEVICE" topic) processes all escape
- sequences to determine their effect on what is being displayed. Depending on
- your system, the last letter in an escape sequence may have to be upper (or
- lower) case for the sequence to work, or either may work. If one doesn't work,
- try the other.
